ASP.NET Web Admin Tool not working

[stricknyn]

Hi all,

Ok this is the weirdest thing. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this. Ok, I have a website in which the solution and webfiles are in Team Foundation Server's source control. My workspace is on my local PC. If I go to Website > ASP.NET Configuration to manage the site using the web admin tool I get an error message from the web admin tool:

"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again."

Now, if I copy the exact site (just the website, but not the solution .sln file)to another location on my PC then choose open website in VS and fire up the web admin tool, it starts no problem.

I have no idea why this is happening and unfortunately the web admin tool doesn't give any other info other than that error message. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?

Thanks,

Strick

Hmm, I can't say that I have seen this particular error with the admin tool. I have seen a lot of other error messages, but not that particular one

Have you opened up fiddler and then open the site? Are there any clues in there as to what is causing the problem?
