Hi folks,
I'll try and keep this as short as I can and have it still make sense.
I'm working on a corporate locked down copy of XP, I'm not allowed to have
IIS on this machine. this makes it somewhat hard to write ASP.net applications
our IT dept came up with a workaround acceptable to their security standards
We'd put Virtual PC 2004 on our machines, install windows Server 2003 (web
edition) on it and then Visual studio on our XP machines and when we come to
create a new web project we hook into the virtual server's IIS and virtual
directories etc.
I've made sure that ASP.net is enabled (i.e allowed) on the Server 2003 IIS
when I go to create a new project for ASP.net from my containing XP OS and
point it to the 'contained' IIS server at my pre-made Virtual directory I get
the following error:
cannot acess 'cannot access \\YOURERVER\wwwroot$\yourVirtualDir\App1' eiher
it doesn't exist or you do not have access...
how could an error message not disambiguate between me
a) not having access
vs
b) the path not being valid
that is just so unhelpful...
anyway, I seem wholly unable to create web projects/solutions on my virtual
server any ideas
many thanks in advance for any help
Regards
