Getting IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility errors

Hi,

I am trying to manually install NopCommerce code. Whenever, I double click on the solution, I get the following error message:

The Web Application Project NopCommerceStore is configured to use IIS. To access local IIS web sies, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account. In addition, you must install the following IIS components:

   IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility
   ASP.NET
   Windows Authentication

I have a 64 bit Pentium Core 2 Duo 2 GHz laptop with 4 GB RAM, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit with IIS 7.0 and Visual Web Developer 2008.

Can't I run this code from the inbuilt server in Visual Studio?
Is this code compatible with IIS 7.0?

I have even installed the IIS 6 compatibility features as well. Please suggest how should I go ahead.

Hi

Edit NopCommerceStore.csproj in notepad and change these two nodes under

<WebProjectProperties>
...
<UseIIS>False</UseIIS>  
<IISUrl></IISUrl>
...
</WebProjectProperties>

Reload your solution and it should be all set.

Hope this helps.

Just to confirm, nopCommerce is fully compatible with IIS7.

As the error suggests (on Vista) you need to run Visual Studio as administrator and install the IIS 6 Management Compatibility Features.

Thanks,
Ben
