Hi,

I've installed VS2008 RTM on WinXP SP2. When I try to debug an asp.net application in either the IIS or the build in web server I get

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Unable to start program 'http://localhost/TestWebSite/Default.aspx'.

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

VS2005 still works fine on the same machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Dion

Thanks to a helpful customer, we found one possible cause of this problem. If you have a file called 'Program' or 'Program.exe' in the root of your system drive, this can cause this problem. If you have this file, try removing it, and the problem will go away.

Hope this helps,

Hi Alina,

Sorry for the delay in responding. For some reason the forum didn't alert me to you response.

If I use Ctrl + F5 then the web site runs. I get the same error with IIS and Cassini.

WinForms, WPF and Console applications work fine.

There are no errors in the event log. I'm not too sure where else to look.

Thanks

Dion.

What error do you get with Cassini?

I don't have "Program" or "Program.exe" any where on my computer.  But I still have the problem.
