I have installed Visual Studio .Net 2002 and when I try to create a new web project I get this: Unable to create Web Project 'MyProject'. The file path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyProject' does not correspond to the URL 'http://localhost/MyProject'. The two need to map to the same server location.

IIS 6 is locked down by default. What you'll have to do is add the .tmp MIME Map extension. To do that, follow these steps:

• Click Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services
• Right click the Web Sites node and click Properties
• Click on the HTTP Headers tab and click the MIME Types button
• Click Add and in Extension: write .tmp and in MIME type: write text/plain
• Click OK, click OK
• Restart IIS
