Theme 'xxx' cannot be found in the application or global theme directories. IIS

[jobs]

my asp.net code compiles file and renders the default.aspx page just
fine from F5 in vs.net 2005. (you know with a port)

However, If attempt to call the page from browser I get the error:

Theme 'Theme1' cannot be found in the application or global theme
directories.


i have this in my web config:

<pages styleSheetTheme="Theme1">

Thanks for any help or information.

1. Do you have a "Theme1" subdirectory which has the
necessary files under the App_Themes directory of your app ?

2. Are you running this from a subapplication, i.e., a subdirectory of your app root ?

Visual Studio 2005 uses IWebApplication.OpenWebConfiguration to get the
web configuration. Unfortunately, current implementation of this method only
opens the root-level web.config.

If you are working from a subapplication, try placing a copy of Theme1 as a
subdirectory of the App_Themes folder in the subdirectory of the subapplication.

I.O.W., create your App_Themes and Theme1 subdirectories
as subdirectories of your subapplication's directory.

thanks. yes the issue is web root and I was attempting to call from
another root - hence the issue. I forgot about this and my needing to
create a virtual directory in iis to get to it.
