Stop redistributable msi creates virtual directory in iis

We are using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET redistributable msi as part of our software installation. The msi creates a virtual directory in iis for the crystal reports viewer. Because the msi alters iis, one of our clients cannot install it due to their IT policy. Their policy cannot be changed.
Is there any way to prevent the msi from creating this virtual directory? We are not using the virtual directory.

AG's answer is correct. But! If and only if your app does not use the viewer. If your app uses the CR DHTML viewer... well, good by viewer. E.g.; when the app wants to show the viewer, it will either error out, or you will not have the viewer and thus no report...

Cannot create Virtual Directory in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Environment

Dear all,
I am trying install Reporting Services 2005 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise machine.
So far we successfully did the following steps
- Install SQL Server Reporting Services
- Configure Service Account (Domain-User)
After creating virtual Directory, we made several steps to avoid HTTP 400 Bad Request in Report Manager:
1. Disable LSA Loopback in Registry and restart server
2. Enhance Service Startup time to 60000ms and restart Server
3. Set Application Pool to ASP.NET 2.0 Classic Mode
4. Modify RSWebApplication.config and set These entries:
<ReportServerUrl>http://servername/ReportServer</ReportServerUrl>
<ReportServerVirtualDirectory></ReportServerVirtualDirectory>
After all the Reporting Services Configuration Manager still shows a red sign and we cannot continue creating the database.
How is it possible to solve this?
We appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
As per my understanding, we can refer to the following methods to troubleshooting the issue you occurred.
Install SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 3.
Deleting the newly-created virtual directory using IIS manager and then rebooting the server.
In the Report Manager Virtual Directory dialog box, create a virtual directory for Report Manager, then change the Website to Reporting.
Enable Apply default settings.

Creating Virtual directory doubts

i tried following ways to create virtual directory. but none didn't work.
i have a war file named MyTestPage.war , it will work if i place it under webapps in the tomcat directory.
but i want to create a virtual directory C:\myDir\TomcatVirtualDir
i tried the following things
1) edited the server.xml and added this code.
<Context path="\" docBase="c:\myDir\TomcatVirtualDir" trusted="false" crossContext="true" debug="1" reloadable="true" >
</Context> its didn't work.
2) i created an xml under conf\Catalina\localhost
named MyTestPage.xml
added this code.
<Context path="" docBase="c:\myDir\TomcatVirtualDir" trusted="false" crossContext="true" debug="1" reloadable="true" >
</Context> it didn't work either.
what shld i do?

Ok.
The examples you gave are for deploying a web app into an existing host.
To define a new host, you need to add a <host> entry to server.xml
Docs link: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/host.html
The appBase directory specifies which directory will work like "webapps"
example:
<Host name="virtualTest" debug="0" appBase="c:\myDir\TomcatVirtualDir"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="virtualTest\_log." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
<Alias>virtualAlias</Alias>
</Host>You will also get a directory [TOMCAT]/conf/Catalina/virtualTest
which is the equivalent of the [TOMCAT]/conf/Catalina/localhost for your new host. You can put a context.xml file in that directory to define the "default" web app for this host.
You would access the host with url http://virtualTest:8080
Hope this helps,

Creating virtual directory with OC4J

Hello, all.
I thought this issue was going to be straight-forward, but after searching this forum and the General one I am not so sure.
Can someone tell me how to create virtual directory mappings or contexts for 10gAS so that jsps that reside in an remote directory (not under OAS_HOME) can be run through OC4J? The remote directory is already defined as a virtual directory in Apache and a servlet some of the pages hit is also deployed in OC4J.
I read that you should be able to use OEM to update either the global-web-application.xml file or the orion-web.xml file, but I am unsure as to whether you create the virtual directories for the dms or webapp applications? I need the virtual directory to be available to more than one particular app.
Thanks for any help,
Dixie.

I don't know if one can use the apache virtual directory in oc4j, however, you can archive the same effect by using the
<virtual-directory real-path="pathRelativeToContextRoot" virtual-path="realPath" />
element in orion-web.xml. Please see the doc at
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/web.904/b10321/confdesc.htm#1019473
which is Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE Servlet Developer's Guide, chapter 6 Configuration File Descriptions, Element Descriptions for global-web-application.xml and orion-web.xml
I believe you jsps will work if put in the virtual directory.

How to reinstall PowerShell Virtual Directory in IIS 7.5, Exchange 2010 SP1?

Hi, When reinstalling CAS role, accidently removed Powershell virtual directory in IIS and also the powershell folder under ClientAccess folder. Now EMC and EMS not working, all with Kerbrose error and WinRM error. How could I restore PowerShell virtual
directory and make it fully functional without a fully reinstall of EX2010? I tried manually add it in IIS and copy the web.config from another EX2010 server but failed. Can't access its module settings in IIS. How to recreate them? Any Powershell script(but
not the exchange one) can do the job?

Server.MapPath(virtualPath) Returns root directory of controller, it is nor returns the physical path mentioned in the virtual directory in IIS

I have created a virtual directory "myVirtualFile" virtual path is "\myVirtualFile" and I have given physical path as "D:\Home\myProject\Files"
Below is my code
var virtualpath="/myVirtualFile\UserManual";
var resultPath=Server.MapPath(virtualpath);
out put is resultPath contains "D:\Home\myProject\Web\client\myVirtualFile\UserManual" Expected out put is "D:\Home\myProject\Files".
It returns the folder structure of my project. I didn't return the physical path which I mentioned in virtual directory.

Hi,
I am not expert on Asp.Net. But I will try my best.
The following sample is what are
Virtual paths and Physical paths
ASP.NET the "~" tilde indicates the root of a virtual path.
Virtual paths
~/App_Data/Sample.xml
~/
~/Map.txt
Physical paths
C:\Website\Files\Sample.xml
C:\Website\Default.aspx
C:\Website\Map.txt
Server.MapPath doesn't find automatically where a file is. It allows to get the physical path
corresponding to a virtual path (relative to the current request if you don't give an absolute path)
If above still cannot resolve your issue, please repost in Asp.Net forum, The link as above posted.
Have a nice day!

How to create virtual directory in Oracke 10g ias

Hi
In my application i have a upload functionality so that any user once they upload the document i want to store in a directory which is existing on the server so that if anybody wants to open that document it should be opened from the server.
any help is highly appreciable

You don't say whether you are using OC4J standalone or OracleAS:
Here's how you do it with OC4J standalone:
http://buttso.blogspot.com/search?q=virtual-directory
I you are using OracleAS then you'd use one of the standard Apache directives to expose the directory via it (Oracle HTTP Server):
See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/urlmapping.html#outside

Steps to create Virtual Directory?

I am very new to Weblogic and trying to create 2 virtual directories with
the following permissions.
name=cognos
path=c:\program files\cognos\cer1\webcontent\default.htm
permission=read
name=cognos/cgi-bin
path=c:\program files\cognos\cer1\cgi-bin
permission=execute
How?

Hi.
I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. What are you trying to
accomplish with these virtual directories? It's not entirely clear how you
want them to relate to WebLogic.
Thanks,

HFM Question : What could corrupt a virtual directory ?

Hello Gurus,
    Sometimes I have been facing an issue with consolidation app when opening it from workspace.
    I'm trying to load this app, in to HFM 11.1.2.2. I was able to deploy the application, however, when I try to open it from Applications > Consolidation > AGGCONS to load data I'm getting the following error :
"The following exception has occurred in DataControlFactoryImpl.createSession(): oracle.jbo.JboException com a mensagem: JBO-29000:Unexpected exception caught: oracle.adf.model.adapter.AdapterException, msg=DCA-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.epm.fm.common.exception.HFMException, msg= {D0084996-C813-4113-92FA-81202489222A}1-2147023878106/09/2013 15:46:51HYPDCHFMWHCHFMCASSecurity.cpp5411.1.2.2.300.3774-2147023878006/09/2013 15:46:51HYPDCHFMWHCHsxClient.cpp526611.1.2.2.300.3774"
      I've found a possible solution at Oracle Support : Financial Management Error "JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught..." When Attempting to Access Consolidation Administration in Workspace. (Doc ID 1457676.1). However, it's not exactly the same error, but the solution related to my issue was similar. This article state that :
"The Financial Management web server configuration does not complete succesfully, the virtual directory in IIS called "hfmapplicationservice" is not available under "Default Web Site". To resolve this issue run the EPM System Configurator and on the HFM web server and choose "Configure web server" for Financial Management product to re-create the virtual folder (hfmapplicationservice)."
      When I follow the instructions above, I've got to open up the app without any problem. But in two or three days the same error happens again.
      I'm suspecting about the user but don't know enough about Consolidation Application to affirm that.
      Then I'd like to know if would be possible some kind of a "bad app use" to corrupt some files from this virtual directory that is mapped in IIS that the only solution is recreate this virtual directory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Are you an administrator in the HFM servers?
