Water Cooler v2

I have an ASP.NET 1.1 project and am trying to open it in VS 2005.
Note that I have a backup of the original project already taken
manually, in a separate location.

It triggers the upgrade wizard/converter that says I must convert the
files to the new version. I've tried running the wizard with various
combinations but with no luck.

When I run the upgrade wizard with the 'Backup' option, it reports an
error saying:

ERROR: Failed to backup website http://localhost/foo.bar/foo.bar.csproj

Foo.Bar is the name of my solution and also the project file.

When I run the upgrade wizard without choosing the backup option, i.e.
with the 'No backup' option, it reports that it has converted the
solution successfully. However, in the Solution Explorer, there is
only 1 child node for the solution and it reads:

http://localhost/foo.bar/foo.bar.csproj

It has no files or child nodes under it.

Please help.

I went through this just last night migrating a 1.1 solution into VS2008.
Are you on Vista?
