Hi Mitchell,

I've recently purchased your book and have began the process of working through the module devlopment tutorial. I've previously installed DNN 4.9.2 on my Vista Ultimate computer, using the Install package. I've also successfully built a website on this computer. To complete my project, I need a couple custom modules, so I've picked up your book to hopefully learn the best way to do this.

I downloaded the C# templates from this site and installed them into VS 2005. I'm running Team Edition for Software Developers w/ SP1 and the Vista update. When I try to create a new project, selecting one of the templates and following the instruction in your book, I get the error below. I've tried both templates (with and wo/ DAL) as well as the one available from Bite the Bullet.

Everything else with my DNN website and VS seems to have always worked fine. I'm a bit confused. Do I need to reinstall DNN using the Source Package first?

Many thanks,
~Chris



The web Application Project test is configured to use IIS. To access local IIS web sites, you must install all of the following windows components:

Internet Information Services
IIS6 Metabase and IIS6 Configuration Compatibility
ASP.NET

In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account. By default windows runs applications in a limited-privilege user account even when you are logged on to the computer as an administrator. To run Visual Studio with administrative privileges, right-click the visual Studio icon and then click ‘Run as administrator'.
