Q: 

Folders created with **SUBST cmd** not working on IIS 6

Folders created with SUBST cmd not working on IIS 6. In IIS 7(with windows 7) the virtual drive is not listing when browsed inorder to set physical path for virtual directory.

Can any body tell me how to solve this problem? Is there any better method to create a virtual drive other than SUBST

+2  A: 

Drives created with subst in Windows 7 are only available to the user that created them. (And possibly only in the same process chain or session, but I'm not entirely sure of that.)

So have your IIS user do the substing.
