Hi all:

I am trying to get DNN6.1.3 community Edition Source code solution loaded into Visual Studio 2010 so that I can compile DNN and complete the installation of 6.1.3 on my Windows 7 development system. 

Following the steps Chris Hammond outlines in his module development training, I have created the DNN database in SQL Server, setup a SQL user account, copied the source files to a working folder, setup the web site in IIS 7.5, edited the hosts file, configured the file system permissions for the IIS applicaton pool and created the web.config from the development.config file.  The next step is to open the DotNetNuke_Community_Source.sln solution in Visual Studio and compile DNN.

When I open the solution in Visual Studio 2010, I get the message in the output window http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Community : error : Unable to open the Web site 'http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Community'. To access local IIS Web sites, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account. and the  DotNetNuke_community project in the VS solution exlorer is unavailable with the message "The project file or web cannot be found.".  My user account on the Windows system has full administrator access. 

The URL to my development website is http://DNNDEV613.  I can navigate to this URL just fine in my browser but get a parser error message presumably becuase the DNN site is not yet compiled.

I will continue to research this issue but I really could use the groups expertise to help me get this working.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ron
