Having trouble with Web Deploy - 7zip files not found

Postby MobileMark II » Mon Nov 07, 2005 8:22 pm

I'm in the proess of evaluating IA...

I have created Web-Based EXE project. My project results in 3 files being built: My setup.exe file and 2 .7zip files. All of this is as expected. After building my project, I'm posting the two .7zip files to my web server (IIS). When I go to install, it appears that my setup.exe cannot access the .7zip files.

My problem appears to be with my IIS web server not wanting to serve up .7zip files. Can someone explain to me how to make this all work? I've tried adding .7zip files as an additional MIME Type, but either that doesn't work or (more likely) I'm doing it wrong.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if it was simply a matter of IIS catching up with my request to serve up .7zip files or not, but it started working. I assume adding an additional MIME Type to IIS is the key.

Adding 7zip as a mime should work. If it doesn't its probably some global setting overriding it. You can save yourself the hassle as follows: just rename the 7zip extension to anything that is servable (like zip), and then update the web media block download URL, and rebuild your setup.

How were you able to resolve this? What MIME types did you add?

Dear user,

I have solved just renaming the file with ZIP extension ... and works fine.

Have you done it?
