Can someone suggest a course of action? Thanks, Keith

Using the ASP.NET Website Administration tool to set up security, I get the
following error message:

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Specified argument

I'd try putting a known good web.config file. You might have a syntax error
in yours.

Make sure you do not have any non Alphabet characters in your path (such
as # or non English)
-c:\c#\myProj won't work change to c:\css\MyProj .... and magic :)
