Problem exporting UMDS repository

[mjha]

In my environment I have installed umds on server 2012 and I installed IIS role on server and created a folder named UMDS in root directory of IIS. Now when I am trying to export the repository info, I am getting below error:

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager> .\vmware-umds -E --export-store C:\inetpub\wwwroot\UMDS

INFO -  Initializing connection pool

INFO -  Registering sequences

ERROR -  Missing version1.txt file

Error with the configured patch store C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Update Manager\Data\. The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\UMDS is not compatible with this version of the product.

I am using vSphere 6.0 U3 in my environment. Build 5318203

Issue got fixed same day. Forgot to update what I was doing wrong.

I was creating a virtual directory first in IIS and then was trying to configured it as Patch repo.

I just reversed the steps and first ran the export-store command and then used the same directory as virtual directory in IIS.
