To verify the installation of the Web services

  1. Click Start, click Run, type explorer, and then click OK.

  2. In Windows Explorer, select the <drive>:\inetpub\wwwroot directory.

  3. In the wwwroot directory, verify that a folder exists for each Web service (Catalog, Marketing, Orders, and Profiles).

    Web services are installed on the Web server at the following locations:

    • Catalog Web Service is installed in <drive>:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CatalogWebService

    • Marketing Web Service is installed in <drive>:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MarketingWebService

    • Orders Web Service is installed in <drive>:\Inetpub\wwwroot\OrdersWebService

    • Profiles Web Service is installed in <drive>:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ProfilesWebService
