Windows Server 2012 Pre-requisites for installing UniversitySite

Applies To

Web Server (IIS)
Windows Authentication
ASP.NET 4.5 (under Application Development)
MSI must be run as either the local administrator account OR as someone whose Account Type is Administrator (not Standard User)
InstallShield uses the following registry key to determine where folders should be created for IIS. It creates a 'UniversitySite' folder at this location.

64 bit Windows Server:

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot

32 bit Windows Server:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\InetStp\PathWWWRoot

Normally the value of this registry key is

%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot

If you desire UniversitySite's web folder to be placed on another drive, you can change the registry key to something like this

D:\inetpub\wwwroot
