I have a web project in my solution file that is “unavailable” when I open the solution. When I right-click on the web project and reload the project, I get the following error:


The Web Application Project mycompany.myapp.mywebproject is configured to use IIS. The Web Server 'http://localhost/MyWebApp could not be found.

I have not manually set up virtual directories for this web application.

Per colleagues, Visual Studio should prompt me to create virtual directories but I am not getting prompted.

I installed VS2010 before installing IIS on my dev machine.

Here is my development machine setup:

  • Windows 7 Enterprise
  • Service Pack 1
  • 64 bit OS
  • Visual Studio 2010 Enterprise Service pack 1
  • IIS version 7.5
