Hi,
I hope I put this thread in the right forum... I am a beginning DNN developer and I am experiencing a problem with a template.
I have DNN 6 installed and configured on my personal laptop, as well as MS Visual Studio and IIS 7.5.
I bought the book by Mitchel Sellers "Professional DotNetNuke Module Programming". The book shows how to build a guestbook module using C# DNN Module Template. Of course the book is a few years old, but the fact that most of the examples in it show MS VS 2008 and DNN 4.XX or 5.XX environment, I thought that I will give it a try and follow the instructions. However, after downloading the tamplate from
http://www.iowacomputergurus.com/free... , I cannot run it. Then I try to create a new project and select the template, after clicking OK button the following error message pops up:
"The Web Application Project 'myprojectname' is configured to use IIS. To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following ISS components:
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility
In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.
For more information, press F1"
Can anyone please give me a hint on what would be a good thing to do? Since I have IIS 7.5 istalled on my machine, would it make any sense to install some IIS 6 components? Is there anything I could do to solve this problem and use the template?
Thank you in advance for all your assistance.
