I am running IIS on Windows Server 2012 R2. I follow the follow steps to enable 'failed request tracing' in IIS:

I get a fr000001.xml file in my 'DataDir\Logs\IIS_FailureTrac directory, but there is no freb.xsl file. I tried go to IE and do http://localhost, that does not help.

How can I get the freb.xsl file?

On Windows Server 2008 R2, I completely deleted the W3SVC1 folder in C:\inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles\ .Then I requested again the page with my error. The folder W3SVC1 was recreated, and this time it contained my failed request .xml as well as freb.xsl. (if that doesn't work, you could be lucky, try from a dos prompt, from c:\, dir freb.xsl /s. I've got multiple copies of it for iis, iisexpress, multiple web sites, etc... it's in My Documents\IISExpress\TraceLogFiles for example)

  • Still a problem on Server 2012R2 at least. Fix still works: just deleted the lowest folder (W3SVCnnnnn,,,,,) and repeated failed request as stated, and it worked for me. – Reg Edit Apr 20 '17 at 11:30
