First you need to check your iisrootfolder. In default website properites check home directory - local path. Some times its missing changes so you could try vbscript custom action to get the "true" root directory: Dim objIIsWebService Set objIIsWebService = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/ROOT") MsgBox objIIsWebService.Path
