Has anyone ran into a problem with a Visual Studio .NET 2010 Solution that contains a web application not loading the web application on the Windows XP SP3 Operating System?

C:\Development\WebProjects\MyApp\web\web.csproj : error : The Web Application Project web is configured to use IIS. To access Web sites on the local IIS Web server, you must run Visual Studio under an Administrator account.

I am stummped and I have tried the following:

  1. Added my account to the local administrators group
  2. Right clicked the web application and selected reload
  3. Uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio .NET 2010
  4. Browsed to the VS.NET 2010 executable, selected run as, and ran as administrator

None of the four items above worked and I ran out of ideas. In fact the information I found talks to Vista and Win7 and not XP.

A: 

I found uninstalling IIS and re-installing as well as running aspnet_regiis.exe -ga ASPNET resolved the issue.
