Unhappy Can't set D: as home directory
Hello everyone!

I just changed all of my partitions to NTFS on windows XP pro, IIS 5.1. Before doing this I was using drive D: as the home directory of IIS. But now I cannot do that. Every time I try to create a new web application in visual studio it gives that terrible error.
Quote:
Visual Studio .Net cannot create or open the application. The likeliest problem is that required components are not installed on the local web server. Run Visual Studio .Net setup and add the web development component.
Although it says that there is something missing, there is not. If I choose a sub folder under the root D: than it works without any problems.
I gave all (almost everything) permissions to the root of D: but I'm still in trouble.

Does anyone knows how to fix this interesting problem?
Good work...

My guess is the IIS user account doesn't have permissions on the D drive root folder.

I gave IWAM_ account full permissions, but didn't work out! Also Everyone account has full permissions too! Could it be something related with C: temp or whatever permissions. I've been searching over internet for days Thanks.

But did you set the home directory for the DEFAULT WEBSITE in IIS to the new location? Right mouse click on default website, see where it points...

Yes I did. But it didn't work. When I go http://localhost I can see the appropriate directories but the web sites sometimes gives an access error althought they have all the required access. And visual studio cannot create a new web application on localhost.
