VB.Net Copy Project fails because copy directory is marked executable.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to make the Copy Project option work from within
Vb.net - it fails on my PC with an error saying the new copy directory is
marked as executable and i am not allowed to copy files into that directory
on my PC!

thanks.

Is the target directory set as executable only?

Thanks for feedback!

The directory is a new one created by Vb.net when the Copy Project command
is issued so i would expect vb.net to create it with whatever permissions
are appropriate to complete the copy.

I get the same problem using C# but the message returned is "Unable to create
Web project 'xxx'. Unable to validate that the file path 'yyy' match the URL
path 'zzz'. Access is denied". I have modify rights to the file path 'yyy'
so, I don't know why VS won't co-operate.

I wonder if it means "Access denied" to the web site. Check the IIS log to
see if anything interesting happened.
