Please Note
2 situations have occurred where the above process of copying over the existing files resulted in AWS no longer working.
The problem was tracked to two IIS settings. In the image below, the Default pool is the one running AWS. You can confirm which pool is being used by looking at the Applications in the pools: AWS should be visible in the pool.
For the appropriate Pool go to Advanced Settings: then Enable 32-Bit Applications and Load User Profile settings, a bit further below this both need to be set to True and OK’d. AWS should then immediately become available.
In the situation prior to resolution even the AWS GetVersions method version will not work, and no errors are logged.
