SUMMARY:
The following KB is talking about a known issue when trying to deploy and configure the Web Customization Editor. When selecting the application root folder an error may occur:
ERROR: Strategy.xml does not exist in the chosen folder. Please choose the correct location
CAUSE:
The web customization editor works by reading various files in the folder structure where Strategy Web is installed. If you're looking to connect your Web Customization Editor to your local ASPx Web environment, the default folder you're looking for as the application root is typically: C:\Program Files (x86) \Strategy\Web ASPx\". If you select that as your application root, it should automatically see the WEB-INF folder inside of it, and the Strategy.xml therein (if you are using Tomcat the folder should be the following: C:\Program Files (x86) \apache-tomcat-8.5.24\webapps\Strategy).

If setting the right folder do not work please have a look at these troubleshoot steps:
1. Double-check if the Strategy.xml file is really missing. If it is, you may need to redeploy the .war file or make a repair install of Strategy.
2. Try creating a new workspace in Eclipse. In Eclipse you can do this by going to File > Switch Workspace > Other…
3. Double-check if there are no additional instances of the Web Customization Editor in Eclipse folder.
4. Make a repair install of .NET on Windows machine and restart the machine
