Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] creating IIS virtual roots failed -- Help?!

yaronusa · 02-02-2009, 11:50 AM

I got a CD from a book, and I want to install the code examples, so I run an .msi file, and towards the very end of the installation, it attempts to do this: "Creating IIS Virtual Roots..." and then it stops, and rolls back the whole installation, and then spits out this error message:

"The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ASP .NET 3.5 Step by Step could be completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again."

I tried changing the msmapi32.dll to msmapi32_old.dll, and ndew msmapi32.dll was installed; I tried deleting the c:\program files\common files\installshield\drivers folder also; I tried running fixmapi.exe.

Any help would be truly appreciated, as I really don't know much about ASP or IIS.

My IIS version is 7.0.60000.16386. I am trying to instal the code examples from a book called "Microsoft ASP.Net 3.5 Step by Step"

THANKS FOR ANYONE TRYING TO HELP!!
