Global variables within IIS Express

Question

I've just installed IIS Express, can anyone tell me where it gets the settings for the following variables?

%IIS_BIN% %IIS_USER_HOME% %IIS_SITES_HOME% %SYSTEMDRIVE% 

Thanks

Answer 1

The following three environment variables are set by iisexpress.exe during the process startup.

• %IIS_BIN% - refers to IIS Express installation folder (%PROGRAMFILES%\IIS Express)
• %IIS_USER_HOME% - %USERPROFILE%\Documents\IISExpress
• %IIS_SITES_HOME% - %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Web Sites

%SYSTEMDRIVE% - is a standard windows system environment variable
