Don't understand you. The root of your local site is c:\Inetpub\wwwroot because that's what IIS says it is. As I see it, you are putting the site in sub-directory sesius, which is not the root of your local site, but is a first-level sub-directory from that root.

(The database was at the root for testing purposes and has now been moved into a separate folder.)
