Unable to start debugging on Web server

I get the following error when trying to start my project:

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the
web server. Server side-error occurred on sending debug HTTP request.
----------
I get the following error when I try to start the project without
debugging:

Server cannot access application directory
'C:\WINNT\Profiles\xxxxx\Personal\Visual Studio Projects\Register\'.
The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security
settings.
-----------
The Register folder and its files (and its parents) are not read-only.
The ISS virtual direction permissions are the default permissions
from when I created the virtual directory.

I inherited this project from someone who has moved on, so not I'm not
yet intimately familiar with the app. I tried to start the app from
two different computers, with the same result.

Can someone please give me some advice on where to start looking in
order to correct this?

thanks

are you part of the debugger users group on your web server? It will be on
the local groups of the webserver.

I'll keep looking, but haven't found anything like that yet. Don't quite
understand what the register folder is.. however, you could just look in
your .sln or .vbproj file and look for that and see what it is. or whats
trying to access it, thats the best advice I can give right now. I'll keep
trying to find something better to answer you with.

Hello,

Thank you for using the community. I am Luke and I am review this issue
currently. from the error information:

Server cannot access application directory
'C:\WINNT\Profiles\xxxxx\Personal\Visual Studio Projects\Register\'.
The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security
settings.

It seems the permission is not enough on the folder. You may try grant
everyone with FullControl permission on the special folder to see if it
will help.

For more inforamtion about ASP.NET securty setting:
