In my solution (looks like theirs is .NET 2.0), I open it and the web project is greyed out. I have setup the website before and it's setup the same so I'm not sure why it's still greyed out becuase the solution isn't able to find it once I opened my solution.
Here's the portion in the .sln where that website is defined

My IIS is mapped to the directory Web already. Not sure what else to do. I tried removing the website project in my solution but I don't see a way to readd it. There is just an "Add Existing Item" when I right click the solution and no option to add an IIS website so that I can finally get this project active and working in my solution so that I can start working with the code under Web\.
This was all fine before they ported our old TFS server to a new one. Before this, a week ago all I had to do was setup the website in IIS and the web project loaded fine in the solution but now, even with the same setup, it's not.
If I try to reload the solution in Solution Explorer by right-clicking in the whitespace (again IIS IS setup right for this website), the only thing I have to go on is this error message:
"The application for Project "http://localhost" is not installed
Make sure the application for project type () is installed
