hi,
i'm running windows 2000 and Internet Information Services 5.0, that's
the version that the help file for iis shows, i'm using Visual Studio
..Net 2002 (version 7) but whenever i try to create an asp.net project
i get an error. here is what i do:
Click Create Project
For Location type:
http://localhost/5040/WebApplication1

5040 is an alias, it works, if i put .aspx files there i can run them.
but when i click ok i get a message saying:

"The default Web access mode for this project is set to file share,
but the project folder at 'http://localhost/5040/WebApplication1'
cannot be opened with the path 'C:\BegASPNET\WebApplication1.' The
error returned was:
Unable to create Web Project '5040/WebApplication1'. The UNC share
'C:\BegASPNET\WebApplication1' does not exist or you do not have
access."

If gives an option to retry and try to open with FrontPage extensions,
i've tried retry but same message, i tried the FrontPage extensions
but that also errors with a message saying i do not have them
installed.

Any ideas on how to fix this? i just want to work on a project,
rather than using windows explorer to manually make .aspx files and
then open them with visual studio, doing that i don't seem to get the
option to view the page so i can drag and drop components onto it, all
i get is the code page, currently trying to learn code behind so
getting all this to work would help.

Thank you.
 
Try this

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-
us/vbcon/html/vbtbsUnableToAccessWwwrootFolderOnServerWhenC
reatingWebApplication.asp

You are unable to create the project bcoz the windows id
on which u have logged in doesnt have sufficient prevlgs
to create a folder.
