Help with IIS 7.5 on Windows 7

[JScannell]

Boy, this new version is really causing me grief. Here's what's happening:
1. I was able to setup an intranet site on my laptop that has Windows 7 and IIS 7.5.
2. One problem persisted relating to manipulating files on the file system (using Scripting.FileSystemObject). I could not execute the CreateTextFile method
3. I verified the permissions on the folder included the IIS_IUSRS(laptopname\IIS_USRS)
4. For the heck of it I tried sharing the folder.
5. Now I get an error page "Error 401.3 - Unauthorized

I don't know what to do now. So not only do I need to get the website back, but I still have the file creation problem to figure out.

Thanks in advance,

Jerry Scannell

I had all kinds of problems with this too. If you haven't already googled this then look up "IIS7.5 hidden apppool identity". I suspect that you'll need to add something like this to your directory security:

"IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool"
