First Installation Fails

Teachable — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:58:28 GMT

I just installed wpilauncher for the first time. After going through the tedious task of providing user names and passwords for a platoons worth of people it informed me that the product had been previously installed. I found this a novel means of getting software is installed. This Hard Drive has only been installed for about 4 day, and this was my first installation of any of the MSDN offerings. Could you use this new technology to install Windows 7 for me.

Thank you in advance!

how to update web.config

WorkerBee2 — Thu, 07 May 2009 14:11:37 GMT

Hi,

I followed the instructions at http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/578/application-packaging-guide-for-the-windows-web-application-gallery/. Everything works except updating the web.config.

I have the following structure in my zip file

nService4.zip
    nService4/
        a bunch of .aspx
        Web.Config
    Manifest.xml
    Parameter.xml
    install.sql

Parameter.xml:
    
    <parameter
      name="Connection String For Config"
      description="Automatically sets the connection string for the Web.config."
      defaultValue="Data Source={Database Server};Database={Database Name};Uid={Database Username};Pwd={Database Password};"
      tags="Hidden">
      <parameterEntry
        type="XmlFile"
        scope="\\Web.Config$"
        match="//connectionStrings/add/@connectionString" />
    </parameter>

Web.Config was not updated. I suspect it has to do with the scope syntax. Can it get to nSerive4/Web.Config in my case?

web platform installer

mpmeldal1 — Sat, 02 May 2009 21:32:53 GMT

I have a Vista Ultimate 64 with Visual Studio Professional running on an Intel Quad processor.

I have installed web components with web platform installer. The following components did not install properly:

subtext, umbraco, url rewrite 1.1, application request routing 2.0 beta, dotnetnuke, mojoportal, wordpress, silverstripe cms, silverlight3 tools for visual studio, sql server 2008 management studio express,

Subtext, umbraco, dotnetduke, mojoportal: for these the database could not be created. The programs are not able to create the databases although I do actually have sql server 2005 which came with my Visual Studio professional installed

Url rewrite: message was close WAS and WMSvc to install module 1.1 for IIS 7

Appl Req routing: A product on which it depends did not install

Wordpress: Object package ....../wordpress-2.7.1-IIS-RC1.zip could not be created

silverstripe CMS: Object package ....../silverstripe-2.3.1-webpi.zip could not be created

silverlight3 tools for visual studio did not install succesfully

sql server 2008 management studio express, did not install successfully. I do see the programs in the program and features though.

The programs are not able to create the databases but I do actually have sql server 2005 which came with my Visual Studio professional installed

The following were succesfully installed:

blogengine.net, screwturn, dasblog, 20 platform products

Could you maybe tell me what could be the problem with the above.

Kind regards

Building package for ODBC data provider

WorkerBee2 — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:26:56 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!

Run a post-install PHP script in WebPI?

King InuYasha — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 12:39:02 GMT

I'm writing a WebPI package that has a method of installation that can be scripted. Can I run this post-install PHP script automatically (it generates the security keys, makes web.config files, etc. though it does not make a database) after the components are installed from WebPI?

msdeploy - how to create virtual site with custom directory

adimsenagi — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:40:46 GMT

I need to deploy package where theres a followin directory structure:

myproject\dir1\

myproject\dir2\

myproject\dir3\

so \myproject is root and dir1 dir2 dir3 are subdirectories.

Now I would like to make only dir1 and dir3 into IIS virtual directories. But dir2 must be under same parent as dir1 and dir3.

Ideal scenario would be this:

1) Default Web Site root is c:\inetpub\wwwroot

2) myproject files are under d:\www\dir1 is virual dir under Default Web Site\dir1

and d:\www\dir3 is virual dir under Default Web Site\dir3

d:\www\dir2 also exists, i.e. is copied there.

Also.. Is it possible to create application extensions mappings with msdeploy?

I need dynamic urls like http://localhost/page1.MyExtension .

How to install local .zip with Web PI ?

adimsenagi — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 11:03:42 GMT

Hi.

I 've created .zip with manifest.xml and parameters.xml inside. It installs fine with msdeploy.

However, I cannot seem to figure out how to install it with Web PI gui?

I'de like to see how it looks for end-user, and does it install all dependencies (sql server for example).

thanks in advance.
