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

Here's the way I fixed the problem.

Go into the MMC for IIS.
Right-Click on the Default Website
Click New/Server Extensions 2002 Web
Minimize MMC to see the web browser that opens
Use your Admin ID/Password to authenticate
A web page is now open to allow you to create the Subweb.

Once you do that, you should be able to create the new web site in VS2005.

It is related to VB.Net in the sense that in Visual Studio 2005 I could

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.

William,

I can not see in which this question is VB.Net related at all
especially
not in VS 2005, maybe can you explain it to us, however probably is a
newsgroup to start with this question.

Microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

I hope you find your solution soon
