Visual Studio Can't Create Web App

[bruce]

You should be able to setup a share in WinXP. Just right click on your folder, bring up property. If you have admin right on both boxes, you can also use the admin share, eg. if the webdirectory is in c:\inetpub\wwwroot, use \\server\c$\inetpub\wwwroot.

hope this helps

Hello Folks,

I spent the whole day yesterday trying to Create a web app from Visual studio (2003) and got stymied . .

The scenario is this :

Two computers in my home office : both XP Pro : Both Running IIS (5.1) : One of which has a Public IP :
Home office is a WORKGROUP (i have no domain server)

Each computer can create the web app locally : However I need one of them (my Laptop) to be able to create
web apps on the Public Machine from Afar :

when VS tries [file share] I get the following error :
UNC share \\dataserver1\wwwroot$\webapp2 (file://\\dataserver1\wwwroot$\webapp2) does not exist or you do not have access.


when VS tries [Frontpage] I get the following error :
http://{ip address here}/cannot be opened with frontpage. The error returned was : unable to create web project
'webapp4' . Server error .

Well as far as UNC share . I don't know if XP can do these global shares like win 2000 server .
as far as frontpage . the extensions are installed and there is a Visual studio developer group set up in my
IIS users and groups of which I am a member . . .

I really don't want to set up a win 2000 server if I don't have to . . .

any Ideas ???
