I need to promote the appto a dev server from my localhost. To do this, I copied the application directory from my localhost to the dev website. When I ran it from the dev website, it wanted to install the app files from my localhost (I assume this is embedded in the setup.exe). What am I missing here? Did I miss a step?

It is embedded within setup.exe. You will have to update the url used for the application by running:
setup.exe /url <new URL>.

See the following thread for more details:

You also need to change the URL of the actual deployment, unless it's going to be identical on every machine you publish it on.

To do that, use MageUI or Mage.

Update it in the publish.htm file? My application is only available online. They do not have any icons on their desktop/toolbar/program files/etc.. They activate the app through a website.

I tried chaning the publish.htm but an IIS error saying the file or directory was not found.

http://x.com/web/setup.exe%20-url%20http://x.com/web

Sorry, I meant you have to run setup.exe from a command prompt to update the url.

ah, I see. Thanks Mike. I will give it a shot tomorrow.

next question then.... after I get it work work on DEV, I will need to put it on a TESTING server. After testing has been confirmed, it then will go on the PROD server. My company does not allow changes to files when moving from TESTING to PROD. I suppose I could create a CMD file to do that which the install techs could use when they install the app. Is that how you would do it? Or is there a better way?

thanks,

Mike also......

worked like a charm......thanks again.
