Hello,

I'm still working on trying to deploy my web site. Seeing that I couldn't get my own to work I went back and tried doing the same with the RELEASE version I created of the Planet Wrox project. I still get an error. Again, I'm running IE 7, Windows Vista, Visual Studio 2008. Any help would be appreciated.
