Question

ColdFusion 11 Installation did not create physical path for the virtual directory CFIDE on Windows 8.1

Following an installation guide from Adobe, I installed ColdFusion 11 Developer Edition on Windows 8.1 that has IIS 8.5 installed. I've all the required features for ColdFusion enabled on IIS 8.5 as shown in this figure.

The installation created a virtual directory CFIDE in IIS but it did not create the physical directory the virtual directory points to. In IIS when I click on the virtual directory CFIDE created by the ColdFusion installation (or CF Web Configuration tool), I get the following error:

I then re-ran the ColdFusion Web Configuration Tool to first remove the IIS configuration and the add it again. But still the same issue. How can I remedy the issue? Thanks..Nam

Does C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE exist on your system?  If not, correct the virtual directory to reflect your installation path.

No, even C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot does not exist. If I manually create this path then the files that installation process would have created on C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE will still not be there and hence website will still not work, correct?

How did you install CF11?  Is it a standalone deployment?  Did you change the installation path or anything during the install?  If you search your system, do you see a CF11 CFIDE path anywhere?  Perhaps on another drive?
