Sample App - Uninstall

Cezar Gradinariu — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:53:25 GMT

Might sound silly, but what an unistall would look like using the Sample App? Not interested in Database problems if any, just the application to be removed from user's site.

Can we use WebPI for distributing non-public web apps?

kurtjohnson — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:20:52 GMT

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/06/02/microsoft-web-platform-installer.aspx

On ScottGu's post a user asked about distributing non-public apps and ScottGu seemed to confirm that. Did Scott misunderstand the question, or can you actually extend the WebPI so that your external customers can update your web apps from their own sites?

Any resources appreciated. Great work otherwise!

Medium trust and SQLite

rdmartin33 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 02:45:44 GMT

Thrilled to see SQLite support in WebPI 2.0! Great job, folks.

How does the WebPI deal with the SQLite requirement that the app be running at full trust OR System.Data.SQLite.dll be installed in the GAC? Can it detect whether the necessary permissions exist?

Gallery Server Pro can use either SQL Server or SQLite. I would like to modify my WAG submission so that users can choose either. Those in restricted permission scenarios may have to use SQL Server but others can use SQLite.

Integrating the Windows Web Application Gallery - Sample error

When using the sample provided in this article I get the following error. What do I need to change in the web.config file?

Gallery Principal Question

lmxu — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:04:49 GMT

Hey all,

Just trying to clarify something, the Gallery Principal states, that the software must be free of charge and no time restriction (which our community edition is), but fully functional.

We are a bit confused of the definition "fully functional"? We are a project management software company, our community edition limits the number of projects, milestones and tasks the end users can create. Does that qualify as "fully functional"?

- Time restriction (checked)
- Free of Charge (checked)
- Fully Functional (?)

Why is MSDeploy only deploying empty folders?

lmxu — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 00:25:32 GMT

Hello All,

So after much debugging, I found out, only empty folders in the zip file are copied by msdeploy over to wwwroot. Any folder with contents were ignored. Anyone have this issue?

Thanks

When I submit a Web App then all tests pass except the Images tests. All image dimensions fail with several different dimensions. The logo is mandatory and the required dimensions are not described anywhere.

Manifest XML Reference

Is there a more detailed reference for the Manifest XML ?

I would really like it to have the capability to create virtual directories is that possible ?

Looking for advice on .NET 2/MS Ajax vs .NET 3.5 requirement

rdmartin33 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:19:04 GMT

I am preparing Gallery Server Pro for inclusion in the gallery, and it requires one of the following:

* .NET 2.0 with MS Ajax 1.0 installed

* .NET 3.5

I currently ship it with web.config pre-configured to expect .NET 2.0 w/ AJAX, but the user can replace it with web_3.5.config that is configured for .NET 3.5.

How should I approach this when preparing the package? Is the installer smart enough to handle this? In other words, is it possible for it to use the default web.config when .NET 2.0 w/ AJAX is installed but replace web.config with the 3.5 version when it senses .NET 3.5 is installed?

Thanks,
Roger Martin

Take action based on whether server is 32-bit or 64-bit

rdmartin33 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:23:18 GMT

I am putting together a package where one of the dll's comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors, and I need to make sure I get the right one in the bin directory. How can I write a manifest or parameters file that senses whether the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit and then deletes the incompatible one from the bin directory?

Thanks,

Deploy to Sql Server 2005 Express - msdeploy, dbfullsql, SMO error

jonpauldavies — Fri, 01 May 2009 23:01:04 GMT

I'm trying hard to get a working package but failing hard. I'm trying to test deployment using msdeploy.exe to sql server 2005 express but I'm getting this error.

Action: Adding dbFullSql (install.sql)
Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, Ver
sion=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its d
ependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Error count: 1

This seems to imply that I need SQL Server 2008 SMO installed in order to get it to work. I dont want SQL 2008 installed, I need it to work with 2005. I think this part of my manifest.xml is causing the issue as dbfullsql seems to require SMO 2008

Any ideas on how to get this working?

How do we build a package for our app that uses ODBC data provider

WorkerBee2 — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 23:10:41 GMT

Our ASP.NET application uses ODBC data provider. We need to have the web deployment tool create a database, an ODBC data source and update the ODBC connection string in web.config. The only documentation is that single web page that shows how to do it for SqlClient. Can you tell us how to achieve the steps I described above? Thanks!

SQL Server requirement

nopsolutions — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 08:55:50 GMT

I create new package for our web application. It requires SQL Server, but database script should not be executed during web package installation. We just want to validate that user has SQL Server installer. How should we create package?

Best Regards,

What license must my app use?

My app is currently planned to be AGPL licensed. What are the allowed licenses to allow an app to be included in the gallery?

Thanks

Issues with MS SQL and PHP

sminnee — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 23:44:15 GMT

I emailed Jake about this directly; posting here for posterity.

Q: We're trying to connect to a MS SQL server from the version of PHP that the Web Platform Installer installs, and we're running into the following problem.

A: There are a few things going on here.

The MS SQL driver that ships with PHP is based on some MS SQL Client Libraries that were end-of-life’d a couple of years ago. We install the driver for a couple of applications which ship with the pre-requisites themselves. We would not recommend using it for any new development.
There is a MS SQL PHP Driver produced by the MS SQL folks - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=61BF87E0-D031-466B-B09A-6597C21A2E2A&displaylang=en. I would use this driver instead.
When you start PHP with the base config as we ship it, that MS SQL Driver will fail to load if you don’t have the client libraries. This isn’t a fatal error though, so you are only likely to see the error if you either start PHP from the command line, or if you are logging errors to a file.

Where to test created package

dalos — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 14:49:48 GMT

Hi,

where can I test my package before I submit it to gallery?

In application package guide ( http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/578/application-packaging-guide-for-the-windows-web-application-gallery/ ) is the following:

The simplest way to test your application is using a batch file which calls the MS Deploy command line and sets values for the parameters [...]

Is this sufficient? I mean what about some sneaky error that MS Deploy can't detect?
