Its not usually a great idea to distribute
something you didnt write without guidance from the original supplier. You
dont really know what resources it needs.
If you are redistributing something,
either all copies should have the same GUID, they should be installed to
different folders, or all installers should set the SharedLegacyFile flag. I
would strongly recommend that you do not
install to the .NET 2.0 install folder because, if VS2005 is subsequently
installed, you may well end up removing the web server prematurely when your
application is uninstalled. See Rob Menschings blog post Component
Rules 101 at http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2003/10/18/56497.aspx.
I would recommend that you install it
elsewhere.

WebDev.WebServer.EXE
I am looking to install the WebDev.WebServer application
along side an application we are developing. Its the webserver visual
studio uses.
We use the server to preview pages the app is creating
before uploading to the real server.
I would like to install the app in the .Net 2 install folder
where is usually resides. Does anyone know how I can detect where that is on
the client machine for the install?
Thanks
Graham
