Web Deploy

[NewsArchive]

Hi there,

I did this before, but... totally forgotten...

1. I am having WINDOWS 2003 IIS 6.

2. I compiled my application as ABC.EXE, with all the small files
abc_00001 till abc_00520.

3. I uploaded them to my WebServer, under a Virtual Directory \WebInstall

4. I downloaded my ABC.EXE without any problems.

5. I started the installation, and it stopped telling that 'Source file
not found:www.abc.net/WebInstall/abc_00001. Verify that the file exists
and that you can access it.

6. I clicked OK and it prompted 'Network communication error: 5060'.

7. What have I missed? What are the MIME types required at the server
2003?

Thanks.

Kelvin,

This is a typical MIME problem. The files are not accessible. Try to
download your www.abc.net/WebInstall/abc_00001 file with Internet Explorer
or Firefox and whatever and you'll get a 404 error.

By default, Internet Information Services (IIS) will not display files which
have no extensions. This can be easily remedied by adding the MIME type to
IIS for these particular files.

Extension: .*
MIME Type: applications/octet-stream
