Err Msg: Cannot Create Folder "C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\_vti_pvt

ID: Q226519

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions

SYMPTOMS

When you install the FrontPage Server Extensions, the following error may occur:

Cannot create folder "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\_vti_pvt"

Note: The path location in the error will vary, based on the location that your virtual server is mapped to.

CAUSE

When the virtual server is created in IIS 4.0, the path is manually typed into the wizard and an extra space is appended to the path. FrontPage reads the path from the metabase and cannot properly install the Server Extensions if the installation path has a space at the end.

RESOLUTION

In the Internet Service Manager, re-map the home directory using the Browse button. This will guarantee that there is no extra space at the end of the path.
