I don't know if this has changed since I last tried it, but I remember about
a year ago doing this and learning that it only supports installing to the
default instance. I have built several of these installers for webapps and
I finally decided copy project worked much better for me. The limited
convenience the msi created was never enough to compensate for the
drawbacks.

that builds the MSI?

2003. I have a project which builds my msi. When I run the msi on my local
machine it works great. However, when I take the msi and deploy it to any
other box it doesn't work. For example, my physical production box is name
"hostmachine1". I am not using the Default Web Server on this box, I
created another webserver named "thishostmachine". The first problem was
every time I tried to deploy it always deployed to the default website,
event if I turned it off as instructed. So I deleted the default website
and now when I try to deploy it says "The specified path
http://hostmachine1" is unavailable. I don't want to deploy to
"hostmachine1" I want to deploy to "thishostmachine". It looks like the msi
always wants to deploy to the physical box name, never the other webserver I
setup. Can someone help!!!!!
