Is it required to create IIS application for accessing application inside the website

I would like to access asp.net v4.0 web application as http://website1:2034/servicecrm and physical path is d:/servicecrm site/servicecrm

I've configured new IIS website "website1" with path as "d:/servicecrm site" and able to see the servicecrm as folder under the website.

Inorder to access it, is it necessary to "Convert to Application" the servicecrm folder.

Edit: ServiceCRM is actual asp.net 4.0 web application containing web.config, aspx pages, etc

No -- whether you'd want to depends. If you want to share login/authentication across multiple applications under the root, then you might want to leave servicecrm as just a subfolder. But probably, since you've said the subfolder is itself a complete application, you should convert it to an IIS application.

Note that, if you don't convert, certain settings in the subfolder's web.config (authentication mode, for example) will trigger the section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level error.
