PENDING Can't reinstall Distribution point - Failed to create virtual directory

I'm trying to use SCCM at work and I'm having problems with the Distribution Point.
I was able to install and test many functions, but at some point, I have to uninstall and install again Distribution Point on Site Server (I just have one Site and one DP).
When I try to reinstall DP, I get this message:

"Failed to create virtual directory on the defined share or volume on distribution point "["Display=\\peugeot.qwti.net.br\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=001"]\\peugeot.qwti.net.br\".

Possible cause: Distribution Manager requires that IIS base components be installed on the local Configuration Manager Site Server in order to create the virtual directory. Distribution Manager also requires that IIS Web Services be installed on the Distribution Point Server that needs to support Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).
Solution: Verify that IIS base components are installed on the local Configuration Manager Site Server, and IIS Web Services are installed on the Distribution Point Server."

The BITS are installed on server, the server is the same that i had installed DP before. I've tried reinstall IIS, SCCM, DP, and I always get the same error...

I'm using SCCM 2016 (1706), IIS 10 and Windows Server 2016

Could You help me to solve this, please? I've been trying for a long time, searched a lot and I still could not solve the problem

I'm experiencing the exact same problem with System Center Configuration Manager Version 1902 with Site Version 5.0.8790.1000.
I use OS - Windows Server 2019.
Any help ? :(:confused:
I think it'd be more beneficial to start a new thread rather than tack on to a 2 year old one. Some more information regarding your environment would be helpful as well. Is this a test/prod env? Was it a fully functioning site and you're adding another DP or is this the initial setup?
