It’s not usually a great idea to distribute something you didn’t write without guidance from the original supplier. You don’t really know what resources it needs.

 

If you are redistributing something, either all copies should have the same GUID, they should be installed to different folders, or all installers should set the SharedLegacyFile flag. I would strongly recommend that you do not install to the .NET 2.0 install folder because, if VS2005 is subsequently installed, you may well end up removing the web server prematurely when your application is uninstalled. See Rob Mensching’s blog post “Component Rules 101” at http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2003/10/18/56497.aspx.

 

I would recommend that you install it elsewhere.

Subject: [WiX-users] installing WebDev.WebServer.EXE

 

I am looking to install the WebDev.WebServer application along side an application we are developing. It’s the webserver visual studio uses.

 

We use the server to preview pages the app is creating before uploading to the real server.

 

I would like to install the app in the .Net 2 install folder where is usually resides. Does anyone know how I can detect where that is on the client machine for the install?

 

Thanks

 

Graham
