cannot create an asp.net web application under http://localhost

[lvcha.gouqizi]

When I create a new web application, if I input http://localhost/myproject
in the location, the OK button is always disabled, while location like
c:\document and ........ allows to go further. What's the reason?

The web server must have the FrontPage Server Extensions installed in order
to create any web project that uses localhost. You could create a file-based
web, such as c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite and then in the IIS MMC right-click
on the directory, select properties, and on the Home Directory tab choose
Create Application. This will mark it as an application in IIS and allow you
to run like you would if you created it from VS.
