    Installing a web service in a user specified location - error during installing

    Hello,

    VS 2005

    I have created a deployment web setup project for my web service.

    It installs ok, but the customer want to install all the files in a specified location on their computer.

    For example it currently defaults to inetpub\wwwroot\myWebService.

    I am also using IIS 5.1

    Many thanks for any suggestions,

    Steve

    Re: Installing a web service in a user specified location

    Hello,

    VS 2005

    I tried to follow this article about how to specify a virtual directory to install a web service project.
    http://www.codeproject.com/useritems...tupProject.asp

    In my project i am using a installer class and 1 custom action. But I don't think this would cause any problem, as it worked everytime before I added the virtual directory.

    However, i get this error message during the installation.

    Exception occurred while initializing the installation.
    System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly.
    'File:///C:\windows\System32\Software\myWebService\Website\PDA\' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

    If anyone has had this kind of error before, or know of a better method to specify a virtual directory to install to. Please let me know.

    Many thanks,

    Steve
