Thank you for your reply,I've tried this before but it doesn't work, because is not possible to add a reference from the children web directories to the common web directory.
Is there any way to add a reference to an existing web directory? Kelly Leahy wrote:
I don't know anything about using MSI to install virtual directories, but I think the solution is to put your 'shared' parent directory in a component that is used by all of your applications, using the same ComponentGuid. Then, only the 'first' application installed will add the directory, and only the 'last' application removed will remove it.However, I'm not sure how to do this. good luck.

I need to put all this virtual directories inside a common virtual directory. ie. Default Web Site |-[My product line] |-ProductOne |-ProductTwo ... |-Product N the code I'm using to create each virtual directory looks like this <Component Id='MyID' Guid='MyComponentGUID'> <CreateFolder/> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="ProductLineVD" Alias="[My product line]" Directory="[My product line directory]" WebSite="[My default Web Site]"> <iis:WebVirtualDir Id="ProductXVD" Alias="[My Product X alias]" Directory="[My Product X directory]"> <iis:WebApplication ... > ... </iis:WebApplication> </iis:WebVirtualDir> </iis:WebVirtualDir> </Component> When I install the products everything works as desired, but if I uninstall one product, the common virtual directory is removed and the other products virtual directories can not be accessed (Obviously) Do you have any suggestion?
