Programming Forum and web based access to our favorite programming groups.I am trying to create the files to put on a web site so that a user can download a new version of a app. I have a setup project that works fine for installation from a cd. To make a web version of this I changed the bootstrapper setting on the project property pages to 'web bootstrapper', filled in the URLs, rebuilt the project, and copied the files to the web site. When I access setup.exe I get an error that it can't find the .msi file. It expects to find it in the top level folder and I have it in a subfolder. The URL I set in the 'web bootstrapper' seems to have been competely ignored. From what I have read, it seems that setup.exe needs its resources edited in order to know where to look for the msi file. I thought this is what VS.NET was doing when I set the web bootstrapper info. But the file date on setup.exe has not changed, implying that this setup.exe is using all default info. Do I have to run msistuff.exe to configure setup.exe? What is the 'web bootstrap' setting supposed to do? Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance for any help on this.
