Re: "Visual Web Developer does not support creating Web sites on a SharePoint Web server"

It is related to VB.Net in the sense that in Visual Studio 2005 I could not
create a new web site in localhost for a web based project. This is all on
an XP Pro computer running IIS.

However, I did find a workaround.

First, using Windows Explorer you create a new folder in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot,
say, TestSite. Then you open up IIS and create a virtual directory with
alias TestSite, and point it to the folder you created named TestSite.

Now in Visual Studio you can create your new website using the above created
folder, TestSite.

This indirect method is necessary, it seems, because Visual Studio 2005 will
not create a new subweb of the default web site in IIS when you have
SharePoint installed. I incorrectly thought that the Visual Studio 2005
installation installed SharePoint when, in fact, it appears that it was
installed by Microsoft FrontPage 2002.

I would have thought that someone else would have encountered this problem
but found nothing in a search of Google Groups.
