I have a asp.net website in the IIS which is available on internet as www.xyz.com now I have been asked to prepare another website which will be accessed via www.xyz.com/abc.
For this, do I need to create a virtual directory under the website folder XYZ in IIS? or is there any other way to achieve this.

A virtual directory is a directory name (also referred to as path) that you specify in Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 and map to a physical directory on a local or remote server.
Virtual directories and applications are now separate objects, and they exist in a hierarchical relationship in the IIS configuration schema. Briefly, a site contains one or more applications, an application contains one or more virtual directories, and a virtual directory maps to a physical directory on a computer.
You need to make the subdirectory an IIS application.
Keep in mind that inner apps like yours will be inheriting configurations from the top-most web configuration, so be careful clearing those settings you don't want in the child applications.

Yes a virtual directory will work, however note that if abc is a full-blown app you will have to add it as an application not as a virtual directory
