 Window Vista Business Edition, Visual Studio 2008, DotNetNuke 05.01.00

I have already unzipped DotNetNuke_Community_05.01.00_Source, and set up DotNetNuke at http://localhost/DotNetNuke/. Application is working fine by using the above url, and I can even create web pages.

But when I open DotNetNuke_Community_05.01.00_Source\DotNetNuke_VS2008.sln, I get the following message 
 
Unable to open the Web Site. ‘http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Community’. To access local IIS Web sites,  you must install the following IIS components:  In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.
 
Again, I even created a web site with http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Community/; it still doesn’t work in VS 08. As the result, web site is not avaiable in DNN solution. Am I missing any steps?
 
Thanks in advanced and thank you so much for your comments!!!

When you run VS2008 that accesses an IIS site you need to run VS2008 as an administrator.

1) Click on link you use to run VS2008.
2) Click Advanced button.
3) Check "Run as Administrator" checkbox.

Now everytime you run VS you will be running it as an administrator.  This should take care of the issue you are having.

FYI: In Win7 (might be the same in Vista), you can also right click on the shortcut and choose t "Run as Adminstrator".  This allows you to run as administrator only when you need to.  The downside is if you forget to do this you are not running adminstrator and you can have problems like you posted.  I prefer to just set the shortcut to "Run as Administrator".

Thank you for the response. I turn off UAC on my computer.

Even if I run as Administrator (by right clicking on the short cut), it still prompted the same message, and DotNetNuke_Community is displayed as (unavailable) in the solution.

Very strange, if youre running VS as Admin from the Start Menu it should have access to IIS.  To check try opening a Web SITE from VS and see if it lets you.  If not you have some sort of perm issue.
