IIS -cannot creat new web site with wizard

[Guest AlanTerrill]

I've tried to create a new website within IIS 6 but can't get the wizard to

complete - I always get the message ' the web site creation wizard did not

complete successfully - cannot create a a file when that file already

exists'. What does this mean?

Here's what I'm doing:

Admin tools- IIS- on the Web Sites folder, right-click and choose New -website

Put in description -Intranet

Leave next screen on defaults-port 80

Point web site home directory to d:\intranet (an empty folder I just created)

Leave next page at defaults -read only

Then I complete the wizard, only to receive the above did not complete

message.

I've tried this on three servers now, always the same result. What am I

doing wrong?
