I just installed Windows 7 on my development machine, along with Visual Studio 2008. Everything works fine, except for one thing - I have lost my "Use Custom Web Server" setting!
What am I missing? :|

A:
To use a Custom Server, your project must be a Web Site Project, not a Web Application Project. There is no conversion option between these types, so you must create a new project of the Web Site Project type.
See Create a New IIS 7.0 Web Site or Application Project on the Learn IIS site.

Yes, that enabled the Custom Web Server option. But then a new error occurred; Visual Studio couldn't handle a folder having 24k+ files, which resulted in a crash. I was also unable to exclude these files from the pro^H^H^Hweb site, to prevent the crash.

That amount of files in a single folder can cause things other than Visual Studio to crash. Sounds like you need to redesign your solution.

Okay, this answer will have to do. Thank you.
