Error Trying to Run

[Wayne Wengert]

I built a new ASP.Net application (VB) using VSNET2003 and then create a
couple of simple forms to get started (a login and a selection form). When I
click on "Run" I either get an error "Error while trying to run project:
Unable to start debugging on the web server" or simply ""Error while trying
to run project". I have a couple of other web projects on this machine that
run just fine so the suggestions I found about making sure that IIS is
properly setup and such don't appear to apply?

Any thoughts on how to go about debugging this?

It could be something wrong with your web.config, such as a typo or some
casing problem. Try to open web.congif in IE ot see if it's a well formed
XML document..just a thought.

Thanks - I did try that after I found a similar comment via Google but no
help.

I just went back to one of my ASP.NET projects I ran yesterday and now it is
exhibiting the same errors? I am going to try several other ones that used
to work.

I did install a bunch of updates from MS including what appeared to be a
major fix to IE6. Could that be part of the problem?

Bummer - Now, I find that none of my ASP.NET projects run. They worked
yesterday before I applied that last batch of MS "fixes". I tries
re-installing the 1.1. Framework thinking that one of the fixes effectively
re-installed IE but that had no effect.

Looking for ideas!

At this point all I can do is point you to some useful sites:

Interesting - If I click on Debug and then "Start without debugging" it
appears to run fine?
