trouble unzipping files to move project from one computer to another

[frogggg]

I'm trying to move a VI project from my desktop to my laptop. The instructions I received were to create a new project with the same name on the laptop, and unzip the files into the directory inetpub/

http://wwwroot/ProjectName/local

and then right click on the files in the project explorer window to get a copy from the web.

Well, I can't find any local folder in the project, and therefore, there are no files in the project explorer window at all, besides the ones it comes with.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

When you only want to run the project on the laptop webserver, your .ASP files should be in a sub-folder of

http://wwwroot.

But you obviously want to open the files in a laptop VI environment... One (classic) obstacle is the name of the laptop server: when you simply restore the complete project tree the laptop VI will complain when you are trying to open the project. So i do this:
- Use VI to create a new project on the laptop (with the same name as the original, but this is not mandatory)
- ZIP all the files in the XXXXXXX_local projectfolder of the source server
- Unzip those files in the YYYYYYYY_Local projectfolder on the laptop (so a really leave everything else on the source server)
(- Make some changes in GLOBAL.ASA; eg my application("connectionstring&quot because we are on a different server now)
- Open VI on the laptop and open/ import the unzipped files ('existing files')
