    I develop on my E: drive.

    I move the project to other servers which only have a C: drive.

    On one server I map a E: drive to the C: drive and everything runs and compiles just fine

    Without the mapping of the E: drive to C: drive, I just get that same error, cannot write to E: drive

    Where do I force it to use C: drive and not E: drive.

    If have tried the following, but it still fails with cannot copy to E: drive

    1. I set the pubxml file to point to C:

    < publishUrl>C:\WEB_SITES\OsgAssetWcfService</publishUrl>

    1. I did a clean
    2. I did a publish web to file system

    Target location to C:\WEB_SITES

    But it still fails, with could not copy Web.config” to e:\web_sites…

    Is there some properties dialog box that I’m unable to find that allows me to change this target location?

    Richard,

    I'd do a search of all files in the project (within Visual Studio) for "E:".

    If that doesn't fin it, I'd search the other files within the project directory in file explorer.

    Yes, that was the first thing I tried, where I did find the publishURL. I changed it from E: to C: but that didn't fix it.

    Is it something to do with a Visual Studio 2013 WCF project?

    I'm confused by the other person's comment

    But your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System andVisual Studio Editor.

    The IDE is what compiles and tries to publish my WCF service, and fails with a compiler error.

    Can you be more specific on exactly what forum I should be forwarding this bug to, is there a special VS2013 that only deals with bugs?

    Thank you

    Richard Loba
