I'm using Visual Studio 2005, I think you are too juding by the
description - might be wrong, but I do the following...
In the popup window ("Publish Web Site") - you need to enter a target
location - so, if you had another PC on your local network that you could
test it on you could use that, or if you have access to the server then you
could enter the path for that...
http://www.your-web-site.com for example, or perhaps..
\\colleaguesPC\your-site etc..
I typically run with the default options on that screen (mainly because I've
not read up what they actually do yet and put faith in the developers of
Visual Studio 2005! :o)
At the moment, I am publishing my content to my own server up in the loft,
I'm using a UNC path as my target locations..
\\titus\e$\webs\
www.testsite.co.uk\
etc...
If the site is already configured in IIS on the server then it'll just
publish away, maybe ask you about over writing files etc....if its a new
site then it'll probably set it up in IIS for you automatically, however it
might not set it up as an "application" - so you might need to log in to the
server and adjust some settings in IIS for your newly formed website -
without more details about your server its obviously difficult to advise.
Hope the above helps...
