How to get siteroot path in Azure launch task instead of matching?

Question

I have an Azure web project that configured a launch task in ServiceDefinition.csdef.

<Startup>
  <Task commandLine="Task.cmd" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple" />
</Startup>

In Task.cmd, I have code that needs a web project path. Something like that:

InstallService.exe /webpath="%cd%"

but the directory in the launch job is different from the real production path. (E: \ approot vs E: \ siteroot \ 0).

Is there a way to get the production path in my Task.cmd?

thank

You will use the litle bit of PowerShell! You have to create one PowerShell script and change your cmd. Your entire PowerShell file (startup.ps1) should look something like this:

Import-Module WebAdministration
$site = Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites | Where-Object {$_.State -eq 'Started'}
$siteRoot = $site.PhysicalPAth
$fileExe = "InstallService.exe"
& $fileExe  /webpath=$siteRoot

, , . startup.cmd :

@echo off 
powershell -command "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted" 2>> err.out  
powershell .\startup.ps1 2>> err.out

, .
