Install Shield LE not creating bin folder for web project

When building an install shield LE setup project for a website / web application, the resulting setup does not have a bin folder and all dependencies are installed into the root folder. Any idea why does this happen?

I solved the problem by adding a new folder to the website in [IISROOTFOLDER]:

enter image description here

Afterwards I added the "website.Primary output" and "website.Debug Symbols" to the bin folder.

The "website.Content Files" I left in the website folder.

EDIT: Displaying the IISROOTFOLDER

I added the IISROOTFOLDER doing the following steps:

  • Go to your setup project.
  • Go to "3 Configure the Target System" (1 in picture below)
  • Go to "Internet Information Services"
  • Go to "Web Sites" (2 in picture below), right-click and select "Add Web Site".
  • Name the web site appropriately.
  • In the properties section, go to "Home Directory" section and you should see [IISROOTFOLDER] (3 in picture below).

Now you can continue with the first part of the answer.

Good luck!
