Hi @WesterfieldM,

v4.3.0 was just released which removes the /Tests folder. This was a planned feature, but never implemented. Upgrading to the latest source code should resolve this issue:

I believe I’m missing something. There’s no web.config in the root of wwwroot. Maybe I’m configuring the web site incorrectly? ***@***.*** ***@***.*** ***@***.*** Milton Westerfield 317-875-4676 or ext. 16675 From: Bryan Soltis ***@***.***> Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2024 9:27 AM To: mspnp/AzureNamingTool ***@***.***> Cc: Westerfield, Milton ***@***.***>; Mention ***@***.***> Subject: [EXT] Re: [mspnp/AzureNamingTool] Installation issue with "Run as a Stand-Alone Site" option (Issue #119) Hi @WesterfieldM, v4. 3. 0 was just released which removes the /Tests folder.

I'm not sure of the exact issue you may be encountering. Are you attempting to host the site with IIS? This may provide some guidance on ensuring your environment is correct:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/iis/?view=aspnetcore-8.0

After configuring your server, you would run the command you referenced.

dotnet publish -c Release --property:PublishDir=c:\sites\Ant

Just as a suggestion (if possible), running the site in a container may prove much easier, as everything will be installed on the container image.

If you can provide more details on your environment, experience, and errors, I'll try to see if I can help.
