Update existing IIS virtual directory

Hi all,
I need to install a new version of our web application and update the existing virtual directory to point to the new files.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please? I can only see options to create a new virtual directory.

Thanks a lot,

James

Re: Update existing IIS virtual directory

Hi James,

For installing a new application just choose "New web application" context menu option when you right click on the tree from IIS page. Then you can continue
configuring the application from same page.

For updating an installed virtual directory I'm afraid Advanced Installer has no predefined support. You can try using custom actions (Win32 or VBScript) to accomplish this.

Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for the information - I'll try using VBS.

It would be a good enhancement to Advanced Installer to be able to update an existing virtual directory.
