Local IIS website opens as File-System website in VS2008
-
I have a solution that includes three Local-IIS websites (among others) created on Vista in Visual Studio 2008 (Team System). Yesterday the OS was upgraded to Windows 7 and the IIS features (including IIS metabase compatibility etc) and development environment re-installed. When opening the solution in the new environment the website projects are opened as File-System sites rather than Local IIS. I have gone through the permissions on the relevant folders and parent folders comparing them to a machine that is not experiencing the issue. I have also tried removing the projects and re-adding them specifying Local IIS but they still appear as File System sites - if I open a new instance of VS and open the site from IIS they appear correctly. Can anyone tell me how to get the projects to open within the solution as IIS sites? Thanks in advance.
