Hi,

I've downloaded three web app projects from remote server. I've created virtual directories in IIS for all the three and I'm able to work with two of the projects. But when I try to open the third project I'm getting a popup window:

"The project you are trying to open is a web project. You need to open it by specifying its url path."

I'm getting the same error even after modifying the webinfo file.

Please help me to setup the app in my system.

Thanks in advance,
Vanathi

Apart from changing the url path in webinfo file should I change somewhere else? I'm getting an error: "Error 404 the object could not be found. The two need to map to the same server location."
