Vista IIS 7 Virtual Directory Creation Failure

My project creates an IIS Virtual Directory flawlessly in XP (IIS 5.x), but fails in Vista (IIS 7.x) with the message "The wizard was interrupted before [myappname] could be completely installed ..."

I've enabled the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 compatibility options in Vista to no avail.

Here, for comparison purposes are the Verbose file logs:

In XP:
1: Creating application 'Default Application' with virtual directory 'GOiShopWebsite', website '1', and physical path: 'C:\GO_Win\iSHOP\SMSServer\'
