When trying to create a web project using Visual Studio 2005 and Windows
Vista Home Premium, I receive:

Configuring web site http://localhost/WebSite to ASP.NET 2.0 failed. You
may need to manually configure this site for ASP.NET 2.0 in order for your
site to run correctly.

How di I fix this? Please help.
 
I will look these over when I get home. Thanks in advance for the help.

You don't happen to know if it is this painful with Vista and Visual Studio
2008 do you? Just wondering.

Thanks again.

I think it largely depends on your definition of 'painful'. There are
several things required in order to run VS.NET 2005 successfully on Vista,
each of which takes around a minute or so to complete, and each of which has
to be done once only... If you consider that to be hugely painful, then all
I can say is that your computing experience up to now has been incredibly
pain-free...

Running VS.NET 2008 on Vista is virtually identical apart, of course, for
there being no patch to install...
 
I would say using VS 2008 is a bit painful (regardless Vista or XP).
I found it a little slower and buggy.... Nothing major but annoying since
you doing it every day....

At least with VS 2005 once you made it work on Vista it works and you do not
spend your time on it....

Hi

Some one on this newsgroup told me that you need at least Windows XP
Professional to be able to use IIS. IIS doesn't come with the Home edition
as I was told. You might have to upgrade to Windows XP or WIndows Vista.
Don't know if Windows XP is still available. I sure hope it is since there's
a lot of GOOD programs doesn't support Vista, cubase for example. But that
might be because the drivers for good qualiy sound cards does't support
Vista.

How you fix the problem. Upgrade to Windows XP Professional.

You should be able to see if IIS is supported. If IIS isn't listed in your
control panel, then open add/remove programs and select add/remove Windows
Components, check and see if you can install Internet Information Server
(IIS). If the choise isn't available then it is most likely that your home
edition doesn't support IIS.

You can't download IIS as a single tool and install it.

IIS installs fine on Windows Vista Home Premium, which is what the OP is running.

Follow the instructions in this document :
