Respected Imar Sir,

Quote:

You typically get this when the folder is not marked as an application in IIS.
It depens on your version of IIS (whcih you haven't supplied)

Sir my IIS version is 5.1...can you please guide me how to mark folder as an application or any link which guide about this?

Quote:

error (G:\Dot Net 12 project code\Code\Chapter 05 - Wrox CMS\Modifications) doesn't really show the app is installed, is it? Or is G:\Dot Net 12 project code\Code another application?

No sir,this is same application...
please guide me about IIS...version 5.1

Thank you in advance

Start IIS Manager, locate your application's Virtual Directory, open its Properties and click the Create button. If you see a Remove button instead, the VD is already configured as an application.

You can also try setting up your site as the root in IIS by choosing a new path on the site's Properties pages (Home Directory tab).

Also, take a look here for more background information on IIS: www.iis.net

Look in the Event Viewer as suggested by the error message. Maybe it provides you with more details?

If it's a security issue, make sure the ASPNET account (Windows XP) or the Network Service account (later Windows versions) have permissions to your site's content.

Cheers,
