Hello,

I am currently reading Professional Module Programming by Mitch Sellers. I am stuck at chapter 5 trying to create the GuestbookCS Module.
While installing DotNetNuke I had to configure IIS and create a virtual directory pointing to my DotNetNuke folder, so I was able to run DotNetNuke using the following URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke.
Now at the module creation process I had to configure the project settings. The book told me to modify the Project URL setting contained inside the web section and set it to http://localhost/DotNetNuke. When I try to save the project settings I get a message telling me, that I have to create a virtual directory. This fails because the virtual directory already exists and is mapped to a different folder location. How can I solve this problem? Which Project URL should I use in this case?

This is the error message I receive when I try to save the project settings:


This is the error message I receive when I try to create a virtual directory:


The DotNetNuke installation folder ist located at C:\inetpup\wwwroot\dotnetnuke and the folder containing the GuestbookCS module ist located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\DesktopModules\GuestbookCS.
I am using DotNetNuke 5.2.3 (Installation Package and Starter Kit) together with Windows 7 Pro, IIS 7 and Visual Studio 2008 Pro.

Thanks for helping me.
