ColdFusion 2016 file not found error

I installed ColdFusion 2016 developer edition on windows 8.1. I copied my CF project folder MyCFProject to C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE directory and opened http://localhost/MyCFProject/index.cfm where index.cfm is in MyCFProject folder. This url worked fine and I can run the app successfully. But I copied another project folder MySecondProject that also has an index.cfm file and opened url http://localhost/MySecondProject/index.cfm that gives me the following error. Both projects were copied from Windows 7 that has ColdFusion 11 installed and both projects work fine there:

Error:

I found the error and it works now. In ColdFusion 11, when I copied the project directory to the path C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE, it automatically appeared in IIS7.5 (maybe the CF installation sets up this path to IIS). However, in ColdFusion 2016, it seems you have to create a virtual directory yourself and point it to the physical path of your app (in my case, the path described above). Another possibility is that during the ColdFusion 2016 installation, there was an option to point C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE to IIS8, but I either ignored it or opted out of that installation option.

OBSERVATION: Moreover, I noticed that in CF 11, when you copy your project directory to C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE it gets connected to IIS and when you browse the site from IIS you get the home page URL as http:/localhost/CFIDE/MyProject; whereas in ColdFusion 2016, when you copy your project folder to C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE you still have to manually create a virtual directory in IIS and point it to C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE and that the URL of your site is http://localhost/MyProject [without CFIDE folder in the URL]. It may have something to do with the installation options I may have chosen when I installed CF 2016.
