John: Ok, I see what you mean now. I did a quick Google search and one of the responses I found to someone else asking the same question is as follows (it appears to be from someone involved with the IIS design process at Microsoft):

Open %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config and search for
%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot
Change the path.
Or do an %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list vdir
and to change the path execute
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set vdir “Default Web Site/” -physicalPath:

Does that do what you want? Sorry I haven’t had a chance to try it myself yet.

I would like to have Inetpub on the E: drive, not C.

With IIS 6 the .inf file I used
[InternetServer]
PathWWWRoot = e:\InetPub\Wwwroot

Thanks

John: By destination path do you mean the inetsrv path, by default C:\windows\system32\inetsrv?

Can you change the IIS 7 destination path where it will get installed to? You could on IIS 6.

Thanks for this article! I was getting stuck with the pkgmgr not installing. Your tip about changing the assemblyIdentity version did the trick. Thanks again!!
