After you install Visual Studio 2003 on Windows XP Pro, what else do you
have to do in order to create web applications.

When I try it tryies to locate it at
http://localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1

I don't have localhost set up.  How is that done?

Thanks,
Mich

at a command prompt or at the run dialog box, run inetmgr (internet service
manager)
find your default website, and pull up the property pages. examine the path
for the virtual directory. this path maps to local host. for instance, it
may map to c:\inetpub\wwwroot by default. next, examine the quickstart
folder in inetmgr, it should be configured as a virtual directory. if it
isn't you will need to turn it into a virtual directory. then your link
should work

I opened IIS as you suggested, and found the default website.  In properties
it says that the local path is "c:\inetpub\wwwroot".

However, there is no quickstart folder; there are these:

MyPC (local computer)
    Web Sites
        IISHelp
        Scripts
        tsweb
        AspDotNetIntroLab1
        aspnet_client
        aspnet_webadmin
        images
        MovieReviews
        TestASP
        WebApplication1
        _private
        _vti_cnf
        _vti_log
        _vti_pvt
        _vti_script
        _vti_txt
    Default SMTP Virtual Server
        Domains
        Current Sessions

How do I get a quickstart folder in there, and how so I set it up as a
virtual directory?
Thanks
Mich

the quickstart application is not on your drive. even if you created it, you
don't have the files. you can have a look for the quickstart application on
the installation cd or on the web if you care to spend time looking

I uninstalled all versions of .NET Framework, then reinstalled 1.1 and SDK.
I un and reinstalled MSDE 2000 and now in IIS there is a quickstart item.
Not knowing how to open these items I searched for .sln files and opened one
OK.  However, when I try to create a new web application, the default site
is http://localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1
and I get an error
The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http//:localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1' 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error'.

SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) is running.
IIS is running and shows a default web site.

I still can't create Web Applications with Visual Studio 2003 60 day trial.
I am still new to this kind of software, and am not sure what to try next.

Any advise would be very appreciated,
Thanks,
Mich

go to the file project, select new project, give it a default name. from
that point, your application should open. Is that what you are doing (from
Visual Studio?)

I open Visual Studio, go to File, New, Project.
I select ASP .Net Web Application
The name and default location is http://localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1
I click OK, then get the message:
The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http//:localhost/quickstart/WebApplication1' 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error'.

If I try Explorer to see what is at this location
http://localhost/quickstart
I get an error 500 - The page cannot be displayed

I can create Windows Applications, but not ASP .Net Web Applications.
I am using WinXP Pro, and VS .NET 2003 60 day trial (whose time is running
out!)

I'm no expert, but based on what i did to get it working in winxp pro...

in case you've got a muddled configuration, open "Add/Remove Programs"
from Control Panel, select "Windows Components" (or similar name) and
remove all of IIS.  then reboot and install it again using same process.
  Make sure you install all the Server Extensions stuff.

when you install IIS this way it defaults to starting automatically when
you boot up.

open the mmc: right click "My Computer" icon, select "Manage...". expand
"Services", select IIS, right-click on "Default Web Site", select New
Virtual Folder ...create a folder, eg C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyTestArea
....and finish the wizard.

create a new "sub web" to enable all the Server Extensions (I think
these are used by Visual Studio): from the above mmc, right click the
new virtual folder you created and choose "Configure Server Extensions",
and accept all the defaults.

Now open up Visual Studio and create a new web project, selecting the
path as http://localhost/MyTestArea/WebApplication1, or whatever. add a
control to WebForm1, then hit F5 and it should run it in debug mode.

hope that helps.  worked for me :)
