I just recently installed VS2005 and want to upgrade the few VS2003 web projects I have created.  I never dreamed it would be so difficult!

Rather than talking in the theoretical, I'd like to present you with a simple one page project I can't convert.  You can download it here.

Here's my experience with the conversion:

1. Opened the project in VS2005.  The conversion wizard appeared and all seemed to be going normally.
2. It prompted to me to "Convert to Web Application" once it was loaded in the IDE.  I did so and received no errors.
3. So naturally I ran the project.  I immediately got an error.
4. I went to the Project Properties, to the Web tab, and clicked on the "Create Virtual Directory" button.
5. I ran the the project again.  This time the earlier error didn't appear but all that happened was a web page opened and "Directory Listing Denied" was displayed.

I would much appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction, for I think if I can figure this one out then the conversion of the larger projects will go much easier.

Sincerely,
