Hi Jim, following your suggestion, I checked for the Physical Path of the Default Web Site in the IIS Manager and found the following

The Rock Install can now run after I changed the Physical Path to C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

Thanks for your help Jim.

Great, glad it was something simple. I guess Windows Essentials has a different default document root for who-knows-what reason. Good catch!

The IIS log file is as follows:

Seems to me that the 404 error occured for GET /favicon.ico, which is part of the Start.aspx file contents

u_ex160531.log

Are you sure your file is in the right document root? If you put a file called default.htm with the contents "Hello" in your document root, can your browse to http://localhost/default.htm successfully?

Hi Jim,
You are correct. I am getting the same kind of error even with the default.htm Hello file. 404 error with favicon.ico file. Put the htm file in the folder C:\inetpub\wwwroot\

What is wrong with my setup?
