Multiple Release WebSetup

[Dixu...@googlemail.com]

Hello dear ng,

i am using a web setup project to install an asp.net project on a
target machine. No I want to install also a test verstion in another
virtual directory of the same project. That means there will be an
INETPUB/wwwroot/ProjectRelease and a INETPUB/wwwroot/ProjectTest
installation.

I am not a fan of redundance.. so do I have to create two setup
projects or is there a way to use one project?
Because its the same content, only the Virtual Path and the web.config
will be different.

Using the same setup project, it does not different between the two
installations... Is there any support for my needs?

Thanks a lot,

Holger

Not really. I already use a custom install project where I can enter all
needed strings. It updates the web.config automatically.

My problem is, that you cannot use the same MSI file for more than one
installation... If you install to Project1 you are not able to install a
Project 2 without get asked for deinstalling Project1...

I hope i could make my point clear.. Sorry for my english :)
