Whenever I try to open a new ASP.net application I get a dialog box with the following message:<br />-------------------------------------------<br />WEB ACCESS FAILED<br /><br />The default web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project folder at "http://localhost/WebApplication1" cannot be opened with the path 'C:InetpubwwwrootWebApplication1'. The error returned was:<br /><br />Unable to create Web project 'Web Application1'. Unable to validate the file path 'C:InetpubwwwrootWebApplication1' matches the url path 'C:InetpubwwwrootWebApplication1'. Access is denied.<br />-----------------------------------------------<br /><br />What am I doing wrong and should I do? Please help.<br /><br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Murali

The installation of the .NET framework generates this user, but omits to assign any permissions.<br /><br />Then I hit the next issue which I am yet to solve, despite applying some other thread suggestions : File or assembly name System, or one of its dependencies, was not found.<br /><br />Still working on this one.<br /><br />Good luck. I'm sure it will be worth it in the end - As the actress said to the Bishop!<br /><br />Kind Regards ...........<br /><br /> Simon<br /><br /><br />------------<br />Murali at 3/23/2002 12:26:00 AM<br /><br /><br />Hi,<br /><br />I have Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Beta 2 SP 2.
