Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\ while installing on IIS7 up vote 8 down vote favorite I'm trying to port our software installer which currently supports Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 to a Windows 2008 environment. Currently, the installer gets an error which reads "Error 1606. Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot." %SystemDrive% is without a doubt C:\, and C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ has the correct accessibility. It is interesting that if I hardcode the path in the following keys in the registry to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\, without using the environment variable, the installer works correctly. • HKLM/Software/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/InetStp/PathWWWRoot • KHLM/Software/Microsoft/InetStp/PathWWWRoot. This seems like a very poor hack. I do not want to tell our clients that they need to hack their registry before they will be able to install our product. Another option is to change the registry behind the scenes, do our install, and revert the registry keys to their original values at the end of the install, but obviously I don't like this solution either. I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would have done this without reason, so there must be an alternate approach to get these installers to work without modifying the registry. Any tips appreciated. installer windows-server-2008 share|improve this question edited Aug 6 '09 at 19:10 bdonlan 133k18185269 asked Jul 29 '09 at 18:26
a new Win2008R2 server with IIS7. The knowledge base says with 4.6 you don't need to do anything just run the install. I pick the "Default Web Site" and leave the sub-directory as FileVista, then I get:Could not access network location%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwroot\FileVistaI even created the sub-directory and set the http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1202136/error-1606-could-not-access-network-location-systemdrive-inetpub-wwwroot-whi file permissions so "Everyone" has full access I still get the same thing.Here's the log:......... Jim Nowotny 8/9/2012 11:49 AM Hi Jim,Sorry for the inconvenience. Normally, the installer should work out of the box.In this case, it seems %SystemDrive% variable can http://forums.gleamtech.com/4431/error-1606-could-not-access-network-location-systemdrive-inetpub-wwwroot not be resolved on your Windows server for some reason.Please follow the below steps to fix it:1. Type "regedit" in the Run From Start Menu dialog box to open the "Registry Editor".2. Find the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot3. Change the value of this registry key from "%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" or " \inetpub\wwwroot\" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot". If your default website in IIS is instead stored in a different location, set the value of this registry key to that path instead.4. If your Windows Server is 64-bit you should repeat step 3 with the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRootLet me know. Cem Alacayir 8/9/2012 12:28 PM Looks like you do have to enable “IIS 6 Management Compatibility”. This fixed the problem. Jim Nowotny 8/10/2012 6:10 AM
