Error 1606 when configuring an IIS website

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:

1. Make a backup of your registry.
2. Start | Run | regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp using regedit

1. Change the key PathWWWRoot to read “@C:\inetpub\wwwroot@” (your default website location in IIS) instead of %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot
