I am attempting to create a C# web application with Visual Studio.NET and Windows 2003 Server [ RC2 ]. Every time I attempt to create a new project I recieve an error message indicating that the URL http://<hostname>/project does not map to the location C:\<projectpath>. I have attempted to use SMB/CIFS/NetBIOS ( whatever they're calling it) and FrontPage Extensions ( not that I actually *use* those, I actually turned them on because SMB would not work).
  Now, I have actually created a test file in c:\<projectpath> and verified that they *do* map to the same location. I have tried pre-creating the directory (which has been un-necessary in 2k/XP) as both real and virtual directories, but to no avail.
  Has anybody else been successful in getting IIS 6.0 and Visual Studio to interoperate?

Regards,
Meredith Shaebanyan

Yo

we had a similar problem when we tried to deploy our software, we were using fixed IP addresses in IIS, we removed these and left them as "all unassigned", then redeployed our application. This worked fine.

We then reapplied the IP addresses to the webserver and everything was OK.
