I've installed Windows Vista Ultimate on one of my home PCs.  Then I installed IIS.  Afterwards I've installed Visual Studio 2005.  I want to have a simple web site which I'll use in my home network.  I then created a simple ASP.NET 2,0 website, for testing purposes.  But when I tried to debug it, in VS 2005, I got the following error message:

Unable to start debugging on the web server.  Debugging failed because integrated Windows authentication is not enabled.

I don't remember getting this error on Windows XP.  I do not know how to enable integrated Windows authentication in IIS 7 on Vista; how do I do it?  What else might cause this behavior?

HI,

Open ur iis by typing inetmgr in the command propmt. Then int the default website navigate to your virtual directory and then select properties by right clicking ur virtual directory

Go to the directory security tab and then check the integratedsecurity checkbox. I think youn should also chceck  the enable anonymous  access.

Please let me know if you have any issues

But to be honest, I am not a big fun of Vista as a development environment for Web apps. IIS7 does not support frontpage extensions.

Hi Nitinkcv,

I've tried doing what you suggest, but when I right click on the virtual directory there is no Properties... option in the pop-up menu.  Instead, the only options when I right mouse button click is:

• Browse
• Explore
• Add Application...
• Add Virtual Directory...
• Advanced Settings...
• Refresh
• Remove
• Switch to Content View

Do I have to make it an application first?  I think the answer to this question is no, because if I click on the Basic Settings... link on the right side, under the Actions title, I get a dialog box which displays the name of the application, which is TestWebSite.  So, it looks to me as though it is already an application in IIS.

 Hi,

 You need to create a virtual directory of ur application in the IIS. if you havent done so u must do it. This is done by right clicking the default website and choosing add new virtual directory.
