the error is : visual studio.net cannot create or open the application. the likliest problem is that required components are not installed on the local web server.Run visual studio.net setup and add the web developemnet component. this error occurs while opening a project which is downloaded from the internet. also it occurs when I write a project in a computer and want to open it in another computer ...( both of the computers have visualstudio2003) what Should I do? where should I open or where should I copy the folder of the project.. thank you

ok, everytime you write a web application over VS2k3 it save the project over the server folder and the solution file is saved onto the user documents, if you using the default settings these folders are these ones. Server folder C:/inetpub/wwwroot/YOUR-WEB-APP the solution file is saved onto c:/C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My documents\Visual Studio 2003\Projects 'Im not sure about the last folder' So , You have to keep the same structure (Even the application name) like the original developer Pc (This is mandatory for the project). If you have any problems, try open the .sln onto wordpad and check the projects physical address. Best regards. :rose:

Try creating a blank solution, then add the project(s) to the new solution. If it's a web app, you need to set up IIS to recognize that directory as a web application.
