Error Creating Web Application Using Visual InterDev

When you attempt to create a new project with Visual InterDev, the following error message may occur: Note: The path in the error message may vary due to your configuration.

Visual InterDev checks the Frontpg.ini file for the FrontPageRoot directive. If the directive is not there, the project is not created and the error message occurs.

To resolve this problem, do the following:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type "Frontpg.ini" (without the quotation marks) in the Open: dialog box and click OK. (This opens the Frontpg.ini file in Notepad.)
   
   Note: If there is no Frontpg.ini file on the computer, create a text file with this name and save it to the Winnt folder.
3. Make sure that the file looks similar to the following:

   [FrontPage 3.0]
   FrontPageRoot=d:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage
   FrontPageLangID=0x0409
   UILangAbbrev=enu
   NoAbsoluteFileResults=1
   NoServerFileResults=1
   BotCacheDir=d:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\BotCache
   CheckedHostName=treys
   HostOverride=
   							

4. If the FrontPageRoot entry is missing, add the following in the [FrontPage 3.0] section:
   FrontPageRoot=
   You do not need to add a value.
5. Save the file.

You should now be able to create a project.
