An error message I can't understand

Hi,

Something has happened with one of my vs.net2003 projects. I can't start it,
it says

"Visual Studio .Net cannot create or open the application because the
current user account is not a member of the VS Developers group on the web
server computer."

This dialog pops up after I try to open the project.

Any ideas?

TIA

Kenneth, I am not sure why this would suddenly happen and just affect
one project but you can fix it by adding your domain user account to
the VS Developers group on your web server. If you are connecting to a
non-local server, that could very well be the problem. If it is local,
the intrigue will increase. Keep us posted.

I had some problems with this computer, bought a new one, I now have migrated
the whole project to another computer, works just fine. Thanks.

Hi

If it helps anyone, I have encountered the same error in a different context:

I saw this error when doing a command line build of a .Net solution using devenv.exe. It seems to happen when the solution contains a web application project, but the project's folder hasn't been mapped to a virtual directory (either via IIS or right-clicking the folder and websharing it).

You can see what the virtual dir should be by opening the solution (.sln) file in notepad and looking at the project references at the top. Any web projects should appear something like this:

Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "MyWebProjectFolder", "http://localhost/MyWebProject/MyWebProject.csproj",

It's the bit after /localhost/ that you need to make a note of ("MyWebProject"). This is what you should call the IIS virtual directory, while the web project folder to be mapped is the bit after the equals sign ("MyWebProjectFolder"), and is usually located under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\.

Hope this helps someone else!

Hi Andy,

Even I'm getting the error "visual studio .Net cannot create or open the
application because the current user account is not a member of the VS
developers group on the web server computer." while trying to build my
solution from command prompt using devenv.exe. I even created the virtual
directory path in the IIS as mentioned by your article. But stilll getting
the same error. Can you please help me overcome this issue. this is really
urgent.

Thanks,
Partha.

So are you a member of that group as the error suggests?
