HI Baiju

i am not willing to make a exe which is editable by the users

Thanks for your feedback.

For this issue, I think you could modify the folder permission in IIS, grant read permission to Users.

Right Click inetpub folder-> inetpub property -> permission for inetpub, and Read permission checked, Read and Execution unchecked.

hope it helps.

Regards

Baiju,

The all you can do is to Publish the website first and include that folder part of your Setup project instead of the Project content files. This way only the Pre-Compiled files will be available at the web root folder.

Depends on which version you use to develop follow the below links:-
