I really don't want users to see the installer at any time. I have a scenario where users connect to 2 web servers via a URL that is linked to an F5 load balancer and these web servers connect to a mirrored SQL instanse spanning 2 sites. In order to test BCP I have to failover from one site to another. In the process of failing over SQL if a user tries to connect to the web server and the database is unavailable then the installer will automatically start. I would prefer just to receive an error message telling the user to refresh the browser or contact support. Administrators could then connect to the specific installer URL if there is a genuine problem. What do you think? Deane

After opening this file in a text editor, find the section near the bottom that starts with: location path="Installer.aspx" Inside this section, change allow users="?" to deny users="*" When upgrading, you will have to change this back to the original value.
