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.

Hello again everyone!

Just wanted to say, that I solved the problem by getting into the control panel, clicking on programs and features, and then "Turn Windows Features on and off". There, I had to find IIS node and select appropriate checkboxes! Thank for visiting my post. I am very happy I solved another error in setting up my DNN development environment.
