web setup project: new "site" instead of "virtual directory"

[gwu]

I am trying to create a web setup project for an asp.net app. The problem is that it installs it as a "virtual directory" instead of a new "site". How can I install as a new "site"?

In addition what would be the recommended way to ,if upgrading existing asp.net app, retrieve the current web.config (or global.asa )file values. I would need to make sure I keep the customer's values when upgrading those particular files.

Thanks

What do you mean by a site? A virtual directory simply points to a folder which contains a website...

In IIs you have the option of creating a "new site" or a "virtual directery" which will be created within an existing "site".
