Is there a way for a VS2008 Web App Project to work on Windows 2008?

Question

I have some web application projects in my solution that are set with the web tab in the project properties to use the local IIS server and create the web there. This works fine for windows XP, windows 2003.

I want to open the project on Windows 2008 but the project gets the following popup when loading each of the projects with this type of web setting:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException

Is there something I need to do to enable this for Windows 2008?

Answer 1

I'm not positive, but off the top of my head...I'd make sure that you installed all of the IIS6 compatibility options for IIS7 (when you set up the Windows 2008 Server).

It sounds like you're missing some of the COM components that IIS6 would expose to deploy sites that way.

EDIT

As per the comments...here's the instructions for insallation.
