Unable to open the Web 'http://localhost', FrontPage Server extensions not installed

I am having this ridiculously frustrating problem, migrating an
existing web app to VS.2005.

Initially I was able to successfully convert my VS 2002 app, by opening
the Localhost site using the new 'Local IIS' option (File -> Add
Existing Web Site ->. Local IIS -> Select the Localhost site) and
everything was OK. However, when I shut down and reboot, I was unable
to open the same project and got the following error:

"Unable to open the Web 'http://localhost'. The Web server does
not appear to have the FrontPage server extensions installed. If the
FrontPage Server extensions are installed, this error may occur because
the _vti_bin virtual directory is not marked executable. To correct his
problem, run the Internet Services Manager, select the Web server
having the problem and use the Check Server Extensions task"

I have attempted to resolve this problem using the Internet Service
Manager as the error message suggests, but this creates additional
FrontPage errors, and at the end of the day, I don't want to use
FrontPage for this application.

I have found that if I run the Repair/Reinstall module on the VS 2005
Professional installation disk, and reboot my PC I am able to re-open
my project using localhost, however as soon as I reboot my PC, the
FrontPage error returns.

Repair/Reinstall and the problem goes away, until I reboot. What on is
going???

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
