Hi:
New machine, windows 10. Setting it up for web development. Got IIS working on it (http://localhost/ brings up the logo page). Put in WebPI (5.0) and when trying to start it up (in the IIS Manager) all I can get is "invalid URI. The format of the URI
could not be determined."
I have seen lots of postings about this message, but not when simply starting up WebPI in the IIS manager. I ran through and reinstalled it (WebPI) manually (using an MSI download link I found on a post that almost described my problem). This does
not seem to be an unusual problem, but the posts I have seen are about .NET code, and/or not properly formatting the URL/URI being sent to some function or other. I also found a posting about adding a regedit entry to manually set a value called: ProductXMLLocation,
but this did not change any behavior(s) at all. And yes, I have tried restarting IIS and even rebooting.
I'm just trying to get WebPI itself to run so I can install something else that now seems to rely on WebPI to install instead of documenting how to do it yourself.
Any help?
Additional data: I found some thread about 404's with WebPI 5, and found that the cmd line
WebpiCmd.exe /Install /Feeds:https://webpifeed.blob.core.windows.net/webpifeed/WebProductList.xml /Products:UrlRewrite2
is supposed to "fix" a bad URI (what the software knows as how to phone home no longer works, I guess. Why did you change that? I mean, really...). Except that the command line still returns with
Unexpected exception occurred
Url 'https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/web/webpi/5.0/webproductlist.xml' returned HTTP status code: 404
That is, it returns with the old URI. It seems to be ignoring the /Feeds command. Typed wrong? What?
