Ok - so here is the current problem:

All of our applications have been developed on Visual Studio 2003. We just got new computers that have both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 installed on them. I took one of my apps (developed in 03) and converted it in 2005. All was fine. I built the solution with no problem (still can't see any dll's though?) - then I tried to debug - where I get an error.

"Unable to start debugging on the web server. Web server not configured correctly..."

Ok - so now i go into IIS (5.1) and check to make sure the application is created, the asp.net is pointing to 2.0, the debug verb is being returned, etc. - all appears to be totally fine. I cannot fugure this out - any ideas?

ok - i FINALLY figured this out - here are the instructions in case it ever happens to someone else:

How to Convert a VS 7 application to VS8 if you receive the following error on debug (Assumption being that you have already gone through the conversion process between versions with your application):

1. You will need to add ASPNET user permission to access the Metabase
1. Open the Command prompt
2. Go to cd c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis –ga ASPNET (this will grant you permission)
2. You will now need to Create the Mutex
1. Close VS 8
2. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files and delete all your project files
3. Restart IIS
1. Open the Command prompt

                                                               i.      C:\iisreset

1. Browse to a page in your project (i.e., http://localhost/webapps/MyProject/index.aspx)
2. Reopen VS 8
3. Build the project, run the debugger
