.Net Enterprise Server RC1 Visual Studio .Net and IIS Bug

[Jared Youtsey]

Thought I would share this as I have seen others with this problem.
When you try to move a Visual Studio Web project from one machine to
another, or try to create a new Visual Studio Web project in Visual
Studio .Net on a .Net Enterprise Server RC1 you get an error stating
that the file share directory doesn't map to
http://localhost/{webprojectname}. Here is the verbose from the
actual error:

Unable to open the Web project '{webprojectname}'. The file path
'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\{webprojectname}' does not correspond to the URL
'http://localhost/{webprojectname}'. The two need to map to the same
server location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found.

To solve this, in IIS right click on your Default Web Site and choose
Properties. Select the HTTP Headers tab. Click the MIME Types
button. Add a new MIME Type with the extention "tmp" and any
description you would like.

Visual Studio .Net uses tmp files and they are locked out by default
in RC1.

Hope this helps any who are having this trouble.
