Where Internet Information Services (IIS) keeps its logs

Internet Information Services (IIS) logs to C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC<SiteID>\ on Windows. 2 other Windows log locations are recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Internet Information Services (IIS) writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
