But when I try loading up a web service in my browser it look for it in inetpub and I get a 404 error. Why would it do that?

Reply Contact You probably need to create an application and not a virtual directory - a lot of stuff in asp.net is per application (like app_code/bin directories etc) and will only be looked for in the application root.

Now I am trying to get the same web services working on 64-bit with IIS 7 and I am getting totally confused. Will I need to just get someone to recompile the web services for 64-bit?

  Re: Why is it looking in inetpub? Reply Contact Hi, Have you resolved this issue? For the difference between the application and virtual directory , you can refer to this article: Understanding Sites, Applications, and Virtual Directories in IIS 7.0 http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/150/understanding-sites-apps-and-vdirs-in-iis-7/ If your problem persist, could you send the relevant IIS log entries here ? IIS log files located in the %systemdrive%/inetpub/log/LogFiles/W3SVC+n directory.
