Did you follow the IIS setup instruction on this page

[You also need to be sure you tick the box to allow static content, while you are setting up IIS]

Hi Bill.  

Thanks for the quick response.   I did follow the instruction as listed in your link.  I think I set the permission in the security tab correctly but I still  got the error message.

 Thanks

OK Hamzah,

and did you start VS2010 with a right click on the icon/shortcut/link and choose the Run As Administrator option?

It does not matter if the account you are using is a machine admin or not, you still need to start VS2010 this way for everything to work.

Bill
