This is my first post on the .Net Forums - I hope I don't break any rules in the first post,I'm trying to make a VB based .Net page return a file to the user from a location external to the website.The file itself is a software setup that needs to site outside the Web Directory, basically, the page needs to pick up this file and send it to the user when the page is loaded, I've done some research into the problem and it does seem that ASP .Net will not be able to let the user download files from outside the WebDirectory (in this case, WWWROOT).
Does anyone know if this can be done? I've pasted the code I'm playying about with below - but, I wouldn't be suprised if this is completely wrong

How can I create a folder on my Application Installation Path upon installing my application?
i have a project and wish to use a setup file that installs all required software .net etc . I can manage this using the publish function .But i also need to add a couple of csv files to the installation.
change the installation folder to program files instead of application files . I think i need to use the setup and deployment and add a new project using "visual studio installer" .This as far as i have got i can not seem to create a setup (the one i built just hangs)
