SYMPTOMS
When using the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW) to deploy an Internet Information Server (IIS) application to a Web server, you receive the following error message:
NOTE: This error message should only occur if you are using Anonymous access.
CAUSE
The Anonymous account (IUSR_<machinename> by default) does not have proper NT File System (NTFS) permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and/or to the directory to which you are deploying. The Anonymous account needs at least NTFS Read and Execute (RX) permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and NTFS Change (RWXD) permissions to the deployment directory.
RESOLUTION
Assign the Anonymous account Read and Execute permissions to the C:\InetPub\scripts directory and assign Change permissions to your deployment directory.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
