Error using adsutil.vbs

Please see the solution of ID # 24343439

I am needing to do this again on a different machine. This time Windows 7.
I get errors using the command line "cscript c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET FTPSVC/1/ROOT/Path c:\inetpub\ftproot"

I get this error:

The path requested could not be found.
ErrNumber: -2147024893 (0x80070003)
Error Trying To Get the Object: FTPSVC/1/ROOT

As in the other question, the service you should be looking for is called "MSFTPSVC".

I tried both ways -
Also, I saw reference that Windows 7 uses "FTPSVC". This is incorrect?
Thanks

That is incorrect. See below for an example captured from my own cmd session. What happens when you try "MSFTPSVC" in your command?
