A different "Cannot create a disk-based web..." error

[monquatch]

Hi,

Running IIS 5.0 on XP Pro here for development.

Upon opening an existing project in vid 6.0, I am faced with this error message:

Cannot create a disk-based Web application in 'C:\Web_Proj\HBT\HBT_local'. The directory 'C:\Web_Proj\HBT\HBT_local' is the root content directory for a server based web. You must open it using the

http://url

for the web server.

Can anyone offer help with this?

TIA,
monquatch

has anyone come up with a solution for this? getting the same error message and can't seem to make it go away. not even sure why it started as it was working and after setting up custom error pages in IIS on winxppro, started receiving this.
