Cannot Copy Project!!

[net123]

I am using VS.NET and when I'm ready to deploy my projects from my localhost to the web server, I get the following error using Copy Project:

Unable to create Web project 'MyProject'. Server error: Error 2 opening registry key "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\Ports\Port 80".
[/red]

I have tried using two types of destination folders:
1. the actual URL:

http://xxx.xx....

2. and the virtual address: \\xxxx....

And I still get the same error.

Or do you guys recommend a different route of copying files?

Also, what if on my localhost, I create projects named MyProject for example, is it really difficult to rename this project to let's say ApplicationThis? How route should I take?

Don't use copy project. Been there, found that out. Use Explorer to copy your project to the eb server. Don't forget to mark the web server's folder as an application before running it.

bigfoot:

Excuse my ignorance, but are you suggesting pressing (Window Key) + (E Key) and then CTRL Cing the folder on my

http://wwwroot

and then CTRL Ving the stuff into the pertinent folder within my web server?

If not, please explain.

When I did the above procedure, I got that infamous 'Runtime Error' in my application. Why does that occur?

PS. You wouldn't be related to the (in)famous bigfoot from the dumps would you?
