Web Application on XP Home Edition

[chairyuan]

I'm running XP Home Edition, and VB.Net.

I want to create a Web Application, but I always get error:

Unable to open Web project 'MyTest'. Then Web 'MyTest' locatied on server 'http://localhost' does not exist.

I think that because I can not install IIS on my XP Home Edition. Is there anyother way can let me create a web application on my XP Home Edition? Or, I have to update it to professional edition?

Thanks

First off, you need an IIS web server to publish the Web Application to. It does not necessarily have to be the same machine you are developing on. If you have another machine that has IIS on it, then instead of localhost point the *creating location* to the dns name or IP address of that web server. Otherwise, you will need to install an OS that has IIS with it (XP Pro, 2000, etc.).
