A cause of a wsswiz.exe unhandled exception error

I thought this might be useful to others and haven't seen this documented.

If you run wsswiz.exe and take an unhandled exception error after you select the virtual server and click next, it may be caused by NOT having a defined path such as SITES which MUST be created using wildcard inclusion.

Apparently it does a query for sites with wildcard inclusion and if there are none, gets an empty list and errors off.

The site with wildcard inclusion is required to create the project server sites and is where the public documents are placed. I haven't seen it documented but apparently this site MUST be created with wildcard inclusion.
