Figure 1. 'Failed to exec adsutil. Reason: Input Error: Can not find script file "C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs".'Explanation
Microsoft Windows Vista includes version 7.0 of the Internet Information Services (IIS) web server. VHI Web Builder uses the IIS version 6.0 Adsutil.vbs administration utility to configure IIS to run your generated project. When using IIS version 7.0, "IIS 6 Management Compatibility" must be enabled for Adsutil.vbs to run.
Solution
Use the following steps to enable IIS Adsutil.vbs on Windows Vista:
- Click Start > Control Panel.
- Click Programs. Note: Skip this step if you are using Classic View.
- Open Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off. Note: With User Account Control (UAC) enabled, administrative rights are required and a confirmation prompt is displayed.
- Expand Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools by clicking the “+” icons.
- Select the checkbox for IIS 6 Management Compatibility. The filled box indicates the feature is partially enabled (subcomponents are not selected), which is sufficient.
- Click OK.
