Hi all,

I've scanned Google Newsgroups, but although similar problems were discussed
there seemed to be no solution for the following.

I am using Windows 2003 Server, Evaluation Edition (Build 3718) and a trial
version of vs.net 2003 enterprise edition, both on the same machine. all
specific instructions this couple needed for setting up vs.net had been
executed (e.g. installing a 2nd version of .net framework etc.). After a
couple of extra activities, VS.Net finally installed fine!

When trying to create a new VB ASP.Net Application project, the following
error msg comes up:

*****
Window Title: Web Access failed.

The default web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the
project folder at 'http://localhost/WebApplication1' cannot be opened with
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1'. The error returned was:

Unable to create web-project 'WebApplication1'. The filepath
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1' does not correspond to the URL
'http://localhost/WebApplication1'. The two need to map to the same server
location. HTTP error 404: Not found.

Do you want to.... (etc.)

*****

What I tried to do is maximize ASPNET's user access rights. Basically,
ASPNET is now granted Administrator rights. I restarted the machine - did
not help. I also allowed Directory Browsing and Execution of Scripts and
Executables to the root web - with no effect.

Who has a clue what the problem might be?

Hi John,

the article 817264 was a 100% Match. Thanks a lot for pointing me to it.
