I have a Setup Project that is creating an installation for an extension of a Web Access (like outlook web access of tfs web access).
The problem is the installation is replacing the original web.config, instead adding/changing corresponding attributes or nodes.
Someone knows how I should create this Setup Project?
Sebastian
There is no automatic way of doing this. One solution is to rename the web.config in your setup project to something like “web.config.update”.
Create a console application which reads in web.config and web.config.update and merges them to a new web.config. Add this application to the setup project and make it run after the install is complete.
But if you are using VS2010 then @Oded´s solution is a better one. Keep a copy of your environments config files inside the project and have the build task transform them for you.
