IIS7 Windows 7 64bit

No matter what I do I can't seem to add an application to a web site.

When I 'Test settings' I get "Invalid application path".

Any one have a guess as to what I could be doing wrong?

When I got this error it appeared to be due to a security setting. When I changed the "Connect As" property to an administrator then I no longer got the message.

Obviously this isn't a good solution for a production environment - one should probably grant the least privileges necessary for the user IIS is going to be using by default. I'll update this answer if I learn more.
