From what I can tell, this is usually because you do not have the correct permissions. If you run FinalBuilder as Administrator do you still get the error.

Also, make sure you have the IIS management and scripting support installed.

Vincent, when running as “Administrator” program runs ok. I get this error when running the project via GUI as a windows user which is part of “Administrators” user group.   
  
 I’ve added Full permissions on C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config   
 Since then the error message changed to: “Could not Stop website. Failed to stop site.”   
  
 Where else should I give permissions?

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do… microsoft have imposed a security model that makes it next to impossible to automated anything that requrires elevated privileges. Turning of UAC completely may help, but we can’t advise doing that.
