| Hi
(1) Check tht there is a virtual folder called CMS (linked
to the IIS_CMS folder in your MCMS install directory) in
your application's virtual directory for both Project1 and
2.
(2) Template Explorer is accessible from View > Other
Windows.
(3) Check that the project is MCMS-enabled. Select Project
> Enable as MCMS Project.
Let me know if this works

| Btw: it is not possible to create more than one web site on Windows XP.
Hacking the metabase to achieve this would be a licensing violation.

Stefan.

| Hi Alex,
the CMS virtual directory needs to be inside the solution folder.
It needs to point to the following physical location:
\program files\microsoft content management server\server\IIS_CMS
Please do not copy the content but create a virtual directory pointing to
this location.
Also ensure that the virtual directory does not become a web application -
means you need to remove the web application setting after you created the
virtual directory.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi Mei,
1. I made the project MCMS-enabled. And the Template Explore appeared in
View > Other Window.
Thanks
2. I have now CMS folder on the "Solution" level. Under this level I have
two virtual folders for two projects.
2.1. Can I just copy the CMS folder into both project folders?
2.2. Do I need to have CMS folder on the Solution level?

| Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply.
I created web sites on Win XP in the development environment. They work both
well for training purposes.
After I found differences when moving to Win 2003 I think it's better to
develop MCMS projects under Win 2003 if your target environment will be under
Win 2003.
Am I right?

I created virtual folders for each project with the links to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\IIS_CMS
Now both projects could be authored.
Ggreat-great thanks for your help!
