I hope someone can help - I am getting desperate!

I have promised to do some work for someone developing an ASP.NET
application.

I have VS Studio 2002 installed on my pc which is running XP-Pro (and
therefore IIs 5.1) and have installed .Net framework v1.1.4322.

I canot create a new web project - I get the error

"unable to validate the file path....does not match url path..."

Having scoured the web for answers (I have spent HOURS on this!) I
believe it is something to do with VS trying to create a tmp file  in
the \inetput\wwwroot folder to validate IIS is running and failing.

I have checked IIS is running ok (I can open and run ASP pages ok).

I have :

* checked my user is in the VS Developers Group
* run aspnet_regiis -i in the
\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322 folder
* loaded the latest vs updates
* iis has a default web site running on port 80
* I have tried disabling mcAfee person firewall - no difference
* I don't have Zone Alarm
* tried both with file share and fronpage sevrer extensions options
* checked the 'write' option in the default web site
* made sure user and the ASPNET user has permissions to wwwroot (do I
need a wwwroot$ share?)
* tried substituting '127.0.0.1' for 'localhost' in the new project
name


PLEASE HELP!!!

Can you give the exact error without the ...... that's the most important
part of the error.

Unable to create Web project 'WebApplication1'. Unable to validate that
the file path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\wWebApplication1' matches the URL
path 'Http://localhost/WebApplication1'. A connection with the server
could not be established

I have also now deinstalled v1.1 framework and reinstall v1.0 as I have
been told 1.1 does not work with VStudio 2002.

However, this still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Regards

well from what you wrote down it looks like something is not in synch.

> Unable to create Web project 'WebApplication1'. Unable to validate that

this needs to be c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1 and not
wWebApplication1. Now I don't know if this is a misprint on your side.
> path 'Http://localhost/WebApplication1'. A connection with the server

In this case you need to go and change your project file or your solution
file and make them look in the same location.
