SharePoint Solution Generator hardcoded to lookup the Default Website (Port 80)

I experienced an issue with the SharePoint Solution Generator today it kept crashing right the first screen (i.e. choosing Site Definition and clicking next).

The exception being thrown shows that the tool is looking for a SharePoint site on the default website i.e. http://ServerName

Now in this paticular case there was no SharePoint site on the on port 80 so http://ServerName would naturually fail.

As much as I would like to I am not going to complain about this being a silly Exception.

The workaround:  Create a temporary sharepoint site on port 80.

"As much as I would like to I am not going to complain about this being a silly Exception."

No, this is just wrong. I work in a government environment where nothing is on Port 80 - N O T H I N G -.

Who, in the real development world, hard codes that kind of thing, anymore?

Ouch!

As Daniel mentioned in his comment to my last post: Is it me or now in version 1 the installation checks...

It turns out that the value is taken from the environment variable COMPUTERNAME
setting this before calling spsolgen might as well solve your problem.
