    I am running VS2005 & .NET 2.0. Trying to create a web service in VB using the ASP.NET Service Application template. If I select "File System" in the Location box, everything works fine. If I select "HTTP" the OK button is greyed out so I can't create the app. Obviously, I am failing to do something I should, or doing something I shouldn't. Can somebody give me a clue?

      I believe it's because you don't have IIS installed on your dev machine. It won't let you develop your service on a remote server.

        I have IIS installed, but that doesn't mean it's installed correctly. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Are there tweaks I need to apply?

          Was IIS installed AFTER Visual Studio?? IIS has to be installed first. You might want to look at this post[^]. -- modified at 15:13 Tuesday 27th November, 2007

              I performed the suggested ritual. VS still won't activate the OK button for anything but a File System location. Any other suggestions?

                Reinstall Visual Studio (do NOT repair the installation!). Uninstall VS and reinstall it with IIS already installed.

                  I was afraid it was coming to that. Sigh.

                    I've done it more times than I care to count, so I feel your pain. VS2008 takes even longer...
