Workflow Service and Vault Private Web Service fail if IIS is not installed on C drive in Workbook 2021 and later releases

SM 2021-11-10

In Workbook 2021 and later releases, we create Workbook Private and Workbook Public sites in IIS. If IIS is not installed on system C drive, workflow service fails to start. Also, Vault private Web Service page gives a compilation error.

There is a defect NBK-33459 entered for this in BIOVIA Jira system. Given below is the description. It is planned to be fixed in Workbook 2023 release.

NBK-33459: Vault Installer Should Function When IIS Root is Not On C Drive.

Workaround:

Rename the path of the Workbook Private site from '%SystemDrive%\\inetpub\\wwwroot' to 'Drive:\\inetpub\\wwwroot', ie., 'E:\\inetpub\\wwwroot' where E is the drive where IIS is installed.
