I'm trying to run the starter code for the Wrox United website using Visual Studio .NET 2005 Professional edition, and I'm having some problems. (I didn't want to download the express edition for Visual Web developer.. as this would be redundant, I think).

I try to open the website (as per appendix b) by clicking file->open->website, and then selecting C:\Websites\WroxUnited. Visual studio complains that the project was created in an older version of VS, and needs to convert it. Unfortunately, the conversion fails:
Conversion Issues - AddScorer.csproj:(Error List):
ERROR: Unable to parse project file AddScorer.csproj.

Any idea what the problem is, and how to fix it?
Thanks.

Well, it's been almost a week now.. with no response..
I think this book is going back to the bookstore.. I'll pick up something that has example code that actually *works*

Cribbing from one of Imar's answers on a similar problem with code from another reader, this may be an IIS config problem:
http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=45742
"What I think is happening is that IIS is configured incorrectly, and is targeting the 1.x framework. To check this, open the IIS Manager, locate your site and open its Properties. Switch to the ASP.NET tab and make sure that version 2.0 is selected. Then try to run the site again."
If this doesn't solve it, let us know.
