A virtual path can map to just about any physical path. It can even map to
a UNC share I believe, but for security purposes web server will not run
ISAPI's or scripts from there. This does not apply to your \release
directory.
My guess here is that you've typed something into the .reg file wrong. Most
common mistake here is not putting the slashes right between VROOTS and the
root name in reg key name -- you want 'VROOTS' '\' '/' '{VrootName}'.
The fact it's on emulator makes no difference, as virtual roots mapping is
just strcmp's in a giant table. I recommend you build the Web Server admin
tool, which is an ISAPI that can be used to configure web server's virtual
roots and other settings. Then you can add what you want and see what the
registry looks like. I don't know if there's a catalog entry for this, but
SYSGEN_ISAPI_CONFIG=1 will get it. It lives on
http://CEDevice/Admin/.
Also have this reg key to project.reg so that you don't need auth:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\HTTPD\VROOTS\/Admin]
"a"=dword:0
Finally don't ship this in your final device - this is for testing/dev
purposes only.
