I am struggling with BRDLite. The solution (not designed by me) has 4 different web applications which are deployed to the Default Web Site as 4 applications. Unfortunately with BRDlite this seems to break. Is it really true that BRD lite cannot deploy this?

 Symptoms:

• BRDlite creates 4 packages (as expected)
• Each command file installs the web app in the root (instead of nested with the application name)

 Any suggestions?

Hi,

Are you setting the IIS name in the Visual Studio project properties under Package/Publish Web > IIS Web Site/Application for each project?  I don't believe the BRDLite template is setting the application name but I'll verify to make sure.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

I just looked at the template.  There is a property for the WebDeployIISWebApplicationName.  However, it looks like if you leave it blank, it will use the one you specified in the project properies.  Also it will automatically add /p:DeployOnBuild=True so that should be good.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks,

Mike 

Mike,
Yes both of your observations are correct. This was simply a question of documentation not being quite enough for a novice user.

One nice addition would be to generate a cmd file stringing together all packages (in my case 4) created by msbuild. I created such a file manually.

Thank you,
