I have a .msi web installation. I deleted the default web
site, created about 5 new web sites all with host
headers. I then created a new website with a blank host
header.

The .msi package installs a virtual directory during
installation, however, the installation seems to install
the virtual directory only to the first web site in the
list... not the one with a blank host header. How do I
control which site is the default for .msi web packages.
We are using vs.net to build the web deployment package.

Thanks in advance.

I think you need to 'look' at your msi package.
it looks like it will deployed on the first site. E.g. site ID lowest.

Maybe you could prompt for user to select, much more user friendly.
