is there a way to install iis7 on w2k8 on a non c:\ drive?
please tell me how if anyone knows.

what i did was, i installed iis7 to my c:\ and i run the following bat:

@echo off
IF "%1" == "D:" goto err
setlocal
set MOVETO=%1:\

REM simple error handling if drive does not exist or argument is wrong
IF NOT EXIST %D:% goto err

REM Backup IIS config before we start changing config to point to the new path
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd add backup beforeRootMove


REM Stop all IIS services
iisreset /stop

REM Copy all content
REM /O - copy ACLs
REM /E - copy sub directories including empty ones
REM /I - assume destination is a directory
REM /Q - quiet

REM echo on, because user will be prompted if content already exists.
echo on
xcopy %systemdrive%\inetpub %D:%inetpub /O /E /I /Q
@echo off
REM Move AppPool isolation directory
reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS\Parameters /v ConfigIsolationPath /t REG_SZ /d %D:%inetpub\temp\appPools /f

REM Move logfile directories
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites -siteDefaults.traceFailedRequestsLogging.directory:"%D:%inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles"
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites -siteDefaults.logfile.directory:"%D:%inetpub\logs\logfiles"

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.applicationHost/log -centralW3CLogFile.directory:"%D:%inetpub\logs\logfiles"

REM Move config history location, temporary files, the path for the Default Web Site and the custom error locations
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.applicationhost/configHistory -path:%D:%inetpub\history
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:system.webServer/asp -cache.disktemplateCacheDirectory:"%D:%inetpub\temp\ASP Compiled Templates"

however, I did exactly what is mentioned in the bat file but it doesn't seem to work.

I delete the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS\Parameters\ConfigIsolationPath
and i also reset the PathWWWRoot and PathFTPRoot registry values
to d:\inetpub\wwwroot and d:\inetpub\ftproot

i made a new web site pointing the path to my d:\inetpub\wwwroot

but when i browse it, it open up on IE and i see the url is http://localhost:81/
and the page is blank.

IE cannot display the webpage.

can someone tell me what i done wrong?

Thanks

oh, now i know what the mistakes i made are.
it is fixed.

howerver, i still don't don't know what the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS\Parameters\ConfigIsolationPath is.

why do i have to delete it?
