I'm trying to create a new website in visual studio 2005. First I create the virtual directory in IIS and then I go create the website in visual studio using the http choice and I choose Local IIS. It then tells me that I must be a member of the administrators group on the local computer to use the IIS metabase. I am the administrator on the machine.

Can anyone help me get my websites working?

Thanks!
 
You don't need to do that if you don;t want to. VS2005 comes with it's own built in web server that you can use for testing so simply select a local path when creating your project. When it's ready for release, use the Publish Website option to deploy it to your virtual directory path.

I am able to use the file path option, however I would like to get this option working too. I feel like it's a permissions error, but I can't find it.
