Re: Adding TARGETDIR for web project using ORCA is not working

TARGETDIR isn't used in VS 2003 web projects. The property is TARGETVDIR .

Hi,
I created a Web setup project using VS 2003 and edited the output msi
file using Orcas to 'Add Physical Location Option for the target
directory'.
I followed the same steps as mentioned in
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/ChangeVDirWebSetupProject.asp (with
minor changes in specifying Control_Next in Control table as my setup was
created using VS 2003).

When I install using the edited msi file, I can all my files in the proper
target directory, as specified during installation, but the virtual
directory
is never created. This problem is only with the VS 2003 setup, but not
with
VS 2005. What changes needs to be done for VS 2003 setup files?
