Visual Studio Web Setup Project - deploy outside of web root (wwwroot)

I am working with Visual Studio setup projects to install web application. I am looking for a way to change the default physical file installation path. The end result I would like is a Virtual Directory called "MySite" that points to a local path on the server like "C:\Apps\MySite"

Is there a built-in option to customize this?

You have to do it with a custom action, unfortunately it's not supported as a simple setting in the setup project (as others have mentioned).

Here is an example implementation using custom action:

Allow user to set physical directory path during Web Project deployment (a bit old but can still be useful)

No, it will install at the physical file installation path of the Web Site where it is installed plus the name of the virtual directory.
