    After Manual Install - Should I Delete Install Folder?

    Hi, Ive just installed Umbraco manually for the forst time.

    Should I delete the install foder?

    Also, can I change the domain path of umbraco. Just now its default for content is

    www.mydomain.com/umbraco/umbraco.aspx#content

    Its has more to do with the client logging in.

    could I set the login path to be 

    www.mydomain.com/login

     

    Thanks

    Hi, Martin

    Yes, you should to delete 'install' folder. It's recomandation of developers.

    For setting path to login you can use UrlRewriting module.

     

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks Alex.

    I've deleted the install folder.

    Should I be deleting any other folders?

    I am still getting the umbraco setup process if I go to www.mydomain.umbraco.aspx

    Hi Simon, how did you solve your issue from a couple of months ago?

    Hi Paul,

    I have solved the issue by excluding the folder from deployment.

    You need to open your .csproj file and add a new property group as follows

    <PropertyGroup>

        <ExcludeFoldersFromDeployment>
    umbraco\Install;            
    </ExcludeFoldersFromDeployment>
        <ExcludeFilesFromDeployment> 
     umbraco\Xslt\Web.config;
    </ExcludeFilesFromDeployment>
      </PropertyGroup>
     

    Hope it helps!

    Hi Simon, 

    I have tried adding the property group excluding the Umbraco\Install folders into my project file (.csproj), to no avail, its a tad frustrating that a the install folder regenerates when doing a build/deployment to azure websites especially after reading everywhere that it should be deleted.

    This seems to be a side effect of using the Umbraco Nuget package, any ideas where i may be going wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    Xander, from memory the problem is one of your dll's. I think maybe Umbraco.Core. It compares it's version number with that in the base web.config file and will prompt the upgrade if they do not match. I had to manually download the correct version from the downloads page here and add it in VS after a nuget update. Very frustrating.
