multiple sites on IIS7 under the same URL and port but on different directories

I would like to host multiple applications on the same IIS. The problem is I need to use the same URL like www.example.com, but different directories. Also the port needs to be 80, or at least transparent to the end user, so I'd like to have something like his:

www.example.com/app1

www.example.com/app2

The problem is IIS does not let me create 2 sites with the same domain and the same port and I don't wanna use subdomains if possible.

Both apps should not be on the same site since they are separate applications with different mantainance schedules.

Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to use subdomains?

If you have the app1 and app2 directories in the inetpub/wwwroot directory, and configure both of them as applications, it should have the effect you desire. Hope this helps...
