ASP.Net outside wwwroot folder?

[Tai Ming]

Hi

I am trying to create an asp.net application (using Visual Studio.net 2002 on an xpPro machine). However, I need the application to be created in a folder somewhere other than in wwwroot (this is very important as some sometimes we have to install our software in specific places
Is there any way to set VS to do this automatically?
I have been trying for hours now to do this. I have created a virtual directory in IIS and pointed it to a folder on my c:drive, created the VS Developers user group in that folder (and the folder has the right share etc - created by IIS) But when I try and ask VS to create an application within that folder it displays the 'Web access failed' Dialog box - Error 'UNC share does not exist or I do not have permission.
Am I trying to do something that is impossible, or am I just being dense

Any help or advice with this is welcomed with open arms!

I may be wrong, but I think you have to install the frontpage extensions on
that virtual directory.
Right clicking in IIS should give you that option
