Finding the correct application path for IIS

Question

I have created a HelloWorld WEbService and wanted to define it for IIS. So I right clicked on IIS and said Create New Application which gave me the dialog below. But what is the correct path I should point it to? I tried bin folder and the main WebSerivce folder I had and both failed in Test Connection

The way I've always done it is to right-click on Default Web Site, select Add Virtual Directory. Once you successfully add the correct directory, you can then right-click on it and select something like Convert to Application. And your going to want to point it to wherever your default.aspx or index.html or its equivalent is.
