PRB: Virtual Directories Are Not Created and Content Is Not Extracted During Silent Unpack (324348)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Commerce Server 2000

This article was previously published under Q324348

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Silent Unpack capabilities of the PuP.exe file, the virtual directories and the associated physical directories that contain Web content are not created, and the actual content is not extracted.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, make sure that the VRoot settings in the SilentUnpack.ini file match the default settings in the PuP.exe file:
  • For the Retail.pup file, the settings are "Retail" and "RetailBizdesk."
  • For the Blank.pup file, the settings are "Blank" and "BlankBizdesk."
If you want to use values that differ from the default values in the package, you must manually unpackage the PuP.exe file with the VRoot names that you want and then repackage the Commerce site with those names.
