I'm trying to install this cool script on a win server, but i reiceve this error :

• Could not make directory (D:/Inetpub). Reason: File exists
• Could not make directory (D:/Inetpub). Reason: File exists
• Could not make directory (D:/Inetpub). Reason: File exists
• Could not make directory (D:/Inetpub). Reason: File exists

Someone can help me?

Thanks.

I believe this problem is due to a problem in the way the Perl file test operators work in NT on inaccessible directories. I suspect that the D:/Inetpub directory cannot be viewed by the whatever user you IIS session is using. I had this same problem. An inaccessible directory was failing the Perl -d and -e tests, so the fileman install would try to create it. Since the directory does actually exist, the mkdir operation would fail with an errno 17, "File exists". I had to edit the install.pl to add special handling for when this happens. It's possible that some of the main fileman could would also need to be changed in this way, but I have not noticed a problem post-install.

This post is pretty old so I won't go into the changes. If anyone is interested I'll post my changes to fix this.
