Hi,

You and your developer were able to create projects on the remote box after
you installed the following components on the server and added yourself and
the developer to the Admin group. (since remote debugging requires that the
debugging user be an admin on the server)

Note: We also added these accounts to the VS Debugger Users Group and VS
Developers Group on the server.

In VS.NET Setup, after the License Agreement screen, you chose the
following components:
         a) Server Components
                    -- Remote Debugging Components
                    -- Web Development
        
Once you installed these server components, you shared the virtual Website
root and gave access to the required users.

To Create a Project on a Virtual Website on the Remote Server, you followed
these steps:

   1) In the New Project Wizard, you provided the name of the project as:

          http://>/RemoteProject
   
   2) When you got the Web Access Failed dialog box, you provided, path as
and click ok:

          \\<RemoteServer>\Share\Project
 
   3) Project was created on the virtual Website and at the specified
location.

  To Create a Project in an existing location, on the Remote Server, you
followed these steps:

   1) In the New Project Wizard, you selected the template as "New Project
in existing folder" and provided a name for the project.
 
   2) When you got prompted for the location, you provided, path as and
clicked ok:

          \\<RemoteServer>\Share
 
   3) Project was created in the location specified in Virtual Website and
at the specified location.
