i installed vs2005 on vista home premium.. when i try to create new website it displays follwing msg ...unable to create website "http://localhost/website". The webserver does not appear to  have front page extensions installed.

can any bdy help ...

1) use VS2008

2) use File Based sites, not IIS based.

thankx  Curt i tried to use file based sites ... but once i try to run that the browser is unable to open that file ....

for development run it through Visual Studio.

After that you can publish to a Server for others to access, or publish it to the folder where you have your IIS pointing and then access it if you really need to have local IIS access.

i am running it through vs only .. its not opening

is there an errror?
