Brian,
 
The error that you are referring to will occur any time the command string 
doesn't start with IIS://
 
Here are some examples...


heat website -gg -g1 -sreg /LM/W3SVC/1 -out <WixOutputFileName>.wxs
heat website -gg -g1 -sreg /LM/W3SVC/1/<virDirectoryName> -out 
<WixOutputFileName>.wxs

as opposed to


heat website -gg -g1 -sreg IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/ROOT/<virDirectoryName> -out 
<WixOutputFileName>.wxs

Which the later results in the "The web site could not be found" error.
 
Have you successfully harvested any site with heat on Win Server 2K8?

Hey Aaron,

Could you share your command line string? This error is of interest to me.

> heat.exe : error HEAT0001 : Value cannot be null. Parameter name: argument
Exception Type: System.ArgumentNullException

Thanks,
