Running .NET Webpages in Win XP Pro

[Guest]

I am trying to test a ASP.NET webpage before I post it online. I keep getting an error that basically says I need to set the permissions on the IIS to allow for ASP.NET pages to run. Any advice on how to do that? I have tried a bunch of things, but nothing has seemed to work

Below is the error message I receive. I thought I read somewhere now that I think about it that ASP.NET will not run on XP Pro Server since it is a limited version,. That might be the cause. But any help that you can offer will be good

Put your "Offline Projects" somewhere else rather than your default logon
profile folder. I think there is a bug in the VS.Net IDE.

To do this: Go into VS.Net IDE, click Tools/Options/Projects. Select "Web
Settings" under Offline Projects, browse to the folder of your choice and
select "OK" to change the configuration setting.
