Deploy WebApplication on localhost using IIS

Question

Hi there,

I am using Visual Studio 2010, Windows 7 and IIS. I have written a small WebApplication and I want to publish the WebApplication in the localhost. So I click on the project in Visual Studio => Publish => choose File Sytem => Local IIS. After that, I get an error:

To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:

  IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility
  ASP.NET

In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.

For more information, Press F1.

This topic is new for me, so I am a beginner. What exactly must I do to solve this error? Please help me. :(

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I believe you need more rights on your development box. Are you in the administrator's group?

Answer 2

Start -> Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features On Or Off -> IIS -> Web Management tools -> IIS 6 Management Compatibility

Woot!
