It replaces the target file with junk. I think that it is because of brackets [ and ]<br /><br />2) I also need to change&nbsp;one parameter value&nbsp;in the web.config file with the app home url.<br />e.g. <a href="http://%7bsite%7d/%7Bapp%7D/">http://{site}/{app}/</a> but I&#39;m not sure if there is a way to do that.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Mikhail<br /></p>
