I’m trying to build a Deployment Package in Visual Web Developer Express 2010 which sets the ACL for a subfolder of the deployed website. I used the following information <a href="http://leethams.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/modifying-directory-permissions-with-web-deployment/" rel="nofollow">http://leethams.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/modifying-directory-permissions-with-web-deployment/</a>
This is my test:
Create a new blank ASP.NET Application (WebApplication2 in this example)
In advanced compilation options, change .NET Framework target version to 3.5
Create a new folder (Config in this example) and add any file inside the folder
Create a new file called WebApplication2.wpp.targets, with this content
I execute from the command line and everything works fine:
Now, to set the permissions for the Config folder, I change the following line and rebuild the deployment package.
I get the following error:
In English it says: “Error: a value for ‘setAclUser’ must be specified when using the ‘setAcl’ provider with a physical path". Notice the third setAcl was changed to the physical path where the deployment package is located.
I then tried to modify it this way:
But the error remains.
If I execute the deployment package with the “/t” switch, it does not throw the error, although it still shows the physical path.
I can hardcode the IIS path and change the line like this:
It works fine. However, I wouldn’t like to do that, since the installation path need to be parameterized.
Changing the path to a backslassh makes no difference:
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
