I have a web appliction that uses a WCF service; both are available in the same solution. My aim is to create an installer which will create two virtual directories, one for the web app and the other for the WCF service.

I am trying to use a Visual Studio Web Setup project. I added the project output and the content files for both the web app and the WCF service and built it. But while installing this, it only creates one virtual directory, for the web app alone. Please help me. How can I create two virtual directories using the same set up?

Hi Rajsubha,

You can't create multiple virtual directories in IIS using the setup project. One setup project will only create a single virtual application. If you want to create more, use multiple web setup project.

Probably you can try creating another setup project to call other setup files on demand.
