maybe win2008 doesn't support that application or the installer - check with the vendor?<br />
<br />
Cheers.

My first Server 2008 setup...so I could be missing something obvious.<br />
<br />
Trying to install a .NET web service applciation onto Server 2008, IIS 7. &nbsp;Installer returns the following error:<br />
The specified path '<a href="http://servername/virtualdirectory'" rel="ugc">http://servername/virtualdirectory'</a> is unavailable. &nbsp;The Internet Information Server might not be running or the path exists and is redirected to another machine. &nbsp;Please check the status of this virtual directory in the Internet Services Manager<br />
<br />
I have checked to make sure no loopback adapter is installed, tried manually creating the VD, put a sample HTML in the VD physical location and was able to browse it, rename the server to a simple name, but still no luck. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any suggestions out there?<br />

Error in IIS7 - specified path is unavailable

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
