Environment
Upgrade from 7.5 Sp1 to 8.1Ru5
Cause
Duplicate Installation locations. After further review, in IIS, it was discovered that the virtual directories IIS was using were found on both the C: and D: drives. About half of the Servicedesk applications were installed on:
However, the primary install location was:
D:\Program Files\Symantec\Workflow\WorkflowDeploy\Release\Project Name...
Resolution
Edited the virtual directory configuration in IIS to reflect the proper location. This was done by the following procedure:
1. Open IIS Manager
2. Expand Server>Sites>Default Web Site
3. Right-Click on Each Application, and click Manage Application>Advanced Settings
4. Under the General section, verify that the physical path was correct. In this specific case, the drive reference should have been D:, but was set to C: instead. Simply click into the path and change the drive reference, then click OK.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 for each application
6. Restart the Server.
