Trouble opening a asp.net project

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello,

I've inherited an vs2003 asp.net project from a fellow that had Windows 2000 advanced server as his development machine. As a result he mapped the project to a web site (mapped to a non-standard port, 87 I think) instead of mapping it to a virtual directory.

My dev machine is winxppro and my IIS doesn't allow me to create new web sites. I've tried various techniques to be able to map it to a virtual directory, but to no avail. I keep getting the error that "The file path '[Physical Project Path]' does not correspond to the URL '[Project URL]'. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 404: File Not Found."

Is there a definitive guide somewhere that can walk me through the process of moving the project to a state where I can work on it in Windows XP?

Or any other advice would also be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Robert
