Framework versions and virtual directories

[jonas]

I have a problem with different .NET Framework versions in virtual
directories.

Virtual directory /folder_a, is configured as an application running
..NET Framework 2.0 and contains an ASP.NET 2.0 app.

Virtual directory /folder_a/folder_b, is configured as an application
running .NET Framework 1.1 and contains an ASP.NET 1.1 app.

When i run the webb applikation in /folder_a/folder_b, it tries to use
the web.config file in the parent folder /folder_a, running the ASP.NET
1.1 and causing this error:

It is doing what it is "supposed to" do - following the web.config in a
parent folder.
The easiest (although there are other) way to fix this is to not have "b" as
a subfolder of "a" - instead, put it in a different folder at the same level
as "a".
