Visual Studio.Net 2002 and 2003, problems creating project

2002 can, 2003 can't!

Ok, this is weird, but here's what happens. On one computer, I have visual studio.net 2003 installed, and everytime I try to create a new project on our reseller plan, I get the error, vs.net has detected the server isn't running asp.net 1.1 blah, blah. I have checked with the host, and they are. I found a couple of solutions that didn't work either, like re-registering .net framework on computer, bypassing proxies and what not.

I hopped onto an older computer that has 2002 installed, and lo and behold, I can create a project.

Anyone have any clues?
Thanks!

From the command prompt try this:

find where is your 1.1 directory and run this command

C:\....\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_ regiis.exe -i

Yep, that's one of the solutions I tried, and it didn't work.
The other was putting in localhost to bypass proxy or whatever, and that didn't work.
If it helps, I'm trying to connect to a remote server, not my localhost.

I had the same problem with NSolutions hosting...wasn't their fault. I dug and dug...don't remember the exact solution but there was a way. Make sure your Frontpage Server Extensions are on and not "corrupt" on the remote server. This can happen. VS 03 will try to "create" a new app on the remote IIS server. Ask if the IIS server is running in 5 (mixed) or 6 (native) mode. I was finally able to "escape" out of the prompts to create/find a project and it happened magically. Keep digging on MSDN/technet...I believe it was actually technet that I found the answer.

If you can switch to VS 2005 and problems are solved...you can use FTP to transfer project/setup. It works a lot better.

Hi,

I'm new in using VS i have some problems creating projects too. I would very appreciate if anyone can help me or give any hint for finding the solution :)

I'm running win XP sp2; Visual studio 2003. I'm an restricted active directory user, so when i create web application project or web service project i am always getting error's.

First one:

"The web was created succesfully, but an error occurred when trying to configure the application root for this web. Web projects may not operate corectly without an application root. The returned error was: Active directory cannot find the web server. A possible cause for this is incompatibility between Internet information services (IIS) on the client and the server. The usual cause of this is creating web projects on Windows 2000 or newier server from win NT 4.0.
You can manualy configure the application root using the IIS manager"

and just after this error i got another one:

"Unable to set the permissions on the 'bin' folder to restrict browse access. Active directory services cannot find the web server. A possible cause for this is incompatibility between Internet information services (IIS) on the client and the server. The usual cause of this is creating web projects on Windows 2000 or newier server from win NT 4.0.
You can manualy configure the application root using the IIS manager"

what should i tell admin to do, because it's really anoying to have the program that is not working correctly;

thanks in advance

I have the same problems as well, but I haven't had any luck with mine. I just moved on to the next set of tools as it was early in development time. Sadly, as much as Microsoft loves to try to innovate to facilitate rapid development, right now I've had a much faster and easier time on a LAMP platform instead of IIS/.NET.
