is there a way to install IIS5.0 in another drive other than C. win2000 will install IIS in C: and will not let you control where the Inetpub will be. I want to install the wwwroot in another drive other than C: how do I do that

It's very simple:

1. Stop the default Web site.

2. Move the Inetpub/Wwwroot directory to a different location.

3. On the Home Directory tab, modify the default Web site settings to point to the new location.

4. Start the default Web site.

Hope this helps!

PS - Obviously, this involves moving the web site after installation, not installing directly to another drive. There's no way to install directly to another drive.
