    Hi,

    I'm trying to setup the issue tracker starter kit on a Vista Ultimate machine. When the setup comes to create the virtual directories part, it cannot see the default web site. So i stuck. Anybody have an idea on this? Is it because of the IIS 7.0 or am i missing some file system permission configuration that i should have set before the installation? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance.

    That might be problem with IIS 7.0, try installing that with administrative rights, checkout Default WebSite under IIS is running, if not try restarting it and make sure its running, to install under administrative account, right click the file and select Run Under Administrator. hope this might be helpful.

     Thanks for the suggestion. Let me summarize what i did;

    1 ) The setup file is an .msi file so when i right click on it there was no "Run as Administrator" menu item in the context menu

    2 ) I open a command line as administrator and run the .msi file but it gave an error yesterday

    3 ) At the same time, i was turning on an IIS feature "IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility" on "Turn Windows features on or off". It took ages yesterday ( i started in the yesterday morning, it didn't finished yet when i was leaving yesterday evening Sad ) so when i came back this morning i saw that this feature added.

    4 ) I ran the .msi file again as it was described on bullet 2 then bingooo, it worked Yes.

    Thanks again for the suggestion. Even though i'm not sure, i marked your reply as the answer. Now i have another problem and i will open a new postStick out tongue
