Do you have a default application for your web root?

Also, from eventid.net:

Error: "The specified metadata was not found." - According to a
newsgroup post the matabase might be corrupted. Try enumerate your
metabase:
1. Open a command prompt and change to the C:\Inetpub\Adminscripts
folder.
2. At the command line, type "cscript adsutil.vbs enum" (without the
quotation marks). If this command is successful, it enumerates the
settings in the metabase. If the command is not successful, you
receive the -2146893792 (0x80090020) error code.

If you get error, try to restore from backup if you have one. If you
don't have metabase backup, try to follow the instructions in the
article Q234429.

>From another newsgroup post the solution was to put the IUSR and IWAM
accounts in the local Administrators group first, and then run
Synciwam.vbs at the command line as follows:
D:\Inetpub\AdminScripts>cscript synciwam.vbs /v
