Frustration!!

[Tom Yasnowski]

Ok, I got VS.NET on a NT 4.0 server. server is called Testbox1.
On the browser on the machine I can get to the folder
http://testbox1/aspnet

Go to create an Web application with location/name
http://testbox1/aspnet/Webapplication1
Right before I hit ok it says "project will be created on

"http://testbox1/aspnet/Webapplication1"

and it bombs out with invalid UNC share path error

it says the "UNC share

"\\testbox1\wwwroot$\aspnet\Webapplication1"

does not exist or you do not have access"

I am signed on as systenm admin.

What gives?

Thanks

Is your web site root shared as "wwwroot$" ( the dollar sign makes it a "hidden" share )? Find your web root (default is C:\inetpub\wwwroot , but security references will tell you to move it ), right click it, pick sharing, make sure its shared with that name and give yourself full control over the share. Also, make sure you have full control on the folder thru the file system permissions as well, if NTFS.
