How to add ASP.NET web project as a reference in WIX setup project?

Question

I want to create a sample installer of web application (ASP.NET) using WIX. I created a sample asp.net web project, then added a WIX setup project in the solution. While reading tutorials, I was told to add a reference for my sample web app in the WIX setup project. But when I right-clicked and select add references in the WIX setup project, I can't find any projects in the projects tab? Please help.

I am not sure understanding your question but - if you try to create a wix project and deploy an asp.net web application you must add the reference to WixIIsExtension, WixUIExtension, WixUtilsExtension you can find it in : C: \\ Program Files\\ Windows Installer XML v3.5 \\ bin

• if you want to add your web application to an existing IIS web site , i think this link is good

hope it helps you
