Unable to open project.

I have recently upgraded my desktop from windows 2000 to XP Pro. I
backed up my project by simply copying accross the files in the
project.

I have changed the default virtual directory from InetPub to another
and i have enabled file sharing and security settings for Internet
Guest Account, VS Developers and ASPNET Account.

I have copied my project files (all within the project folder) under
the default directory and converted this folder to an application
within IIS.

I receive the following error:-

Unable to open Web project 'BMS/BMSSite'. The file path
'C:\aWork\WebDe velopment\BMSSi te' does not correspond to the URL
'http://Localhost:/BMS/BMSSite'. The two need to map to the same server
location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found.
I can create a new project without any problems.

You might want to open IIS Manager and go into the properties for
BMS/BMSSite. On the Virtual Directory tab, check that the Local Path setting
corresponds to the new physical location. Also be sure there's an
Application name.

Sometimes it is easier to delete a virtual directory and start with a new
one of the same name using the wizard. Also, check inside the VS solution
and project files to make sure the paths are correct.

Hi everybody, My problem seems a bit clichè but I could not work around. Well I read lots of MSDN papers and discussions, but my problem is a bit different from them. When I tried to run the project in debug mode (by hitting F5) it gives an error message "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
