Project Doesn't build out of the box
Really appreciate your efforts on this. The two post-build events don't work out of the box. I disabled them and have built the installer, installs fine, though I think it has some permissions issues (not surprising).
Yes. You have to run Visual Studio as Administrator as the installer interacts with the GAC and this requires administrative rights. Also with the configuration of Debug it is broken with the Post-build event command line, I haven't bothered to update where it is looking for the files. Also you need to have IIS installed on the development machine, Not express but the Windows feature version of IIS due to Microsoft.Web.Management not being available via NuGet
Issues to fix Make the project request administrative rights on build or load? if possible? Update the configuration so the Debug isn't broken and also add the requirements to the front page. Potentially add Microsoft.Web.Management.dll into build folder and update paths? but unsure of related dependencies
The post build events are used to update assemblies in GAC. Generally speaking, that's only useful when you attempt to debug code changes you make.
Most end users just need the installers. And that's why you can build the installer and install without a problem.
I wrote an article to document the source code of this project,
