When installing an IIS application on Vista, you may receive the following error:
Error 1606. Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\
To correct this error, you will need to make a quick change in the registry:
- Make a backup of your registry.
- Start | Run | regedit
- Browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp
using regedit
- Change the key
PathWWWRoot
to read “@C:\inetpub\wwwroot@” (your default website location in IIS) instead of%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot
