I do have one ASP.NET application (E-Transactions) setup that way under IIS (Local path) pointing to
F:\Structure\Projets\C# NET\CBCINC\E-Transactions
and an application name called E-Transactions (Not blank) and everything work well. Nothing is under \Inetpub\wwwroot .

Well, that doesn't work either; you can't change the path to the real directory in IIS Manager (you can't even hack the MetaBase because it isn't stored in a drive:\directory format or a //machine/directory format)
