Infragistics Error - "Could Not Access Network Location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\"

To work around this error, a registry key needs to be modified. Please note that Infragistics strongly recommends you back up your registry before making any changes.

1) Type "regedit" in the Run From Start Menu dialog box to open the "Registry Editor".
2) Find the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot
3) Change the value of this registry key from "%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" or " \inetpub\wwwroot\" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot". If your default website in IIS is instead stored in a different location, set the value of this registry key to that path instead.


If you are installing NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 3 for CLR 2.0 on a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, you will need to repeat steps 2 and 3 with the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot

Enable IIS 6.0 Compatibility1) Open "Control Panel" and ensure "Control Panel Home" is the current view.
2) Click the "Uninstall a program" link from the Programs menu item.
3) Select "Turn Windows features on or off" from the Tasks menu.
4) Expand the "Internet Information Services" node, followed by the "Web Management Tools" node.
5) Check the "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" node. Ensure the nodes under this are checked as well.

If you are using 64 bit machine please do the following as well.
1) Type "regedit" in the Run From Start Menu dialog box to open the "Registry Editor".
2) Find the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\InetStp\PathWWWRoot
3) Change the value of this registry key from "%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" or " \inetpub\wwwroot\" to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot". If your default website in IIS is instead stored in a different location, set the value of this registry key to that path instead.
