Hi,
I'm using VS 2013 Pro and having big problems. Opening an exsiting Web application and creating new web applications throws errors, rendering VS completely useless.
I will try to describe the problems, details about what might be causing the problem and what I've tried to fix the problem.
The problems
1) When I try to open an existing web application, I get an error saying:
- ---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Creation of the virtual directory http://localhost:12332/ failed with the error: Unable to access the IIS metabase. You do not have sufficient privilege to access IIS web sites on your machine.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
2) When I try to create a new web application, I get an error saying:
Details
During the weekend the internal IT department, made a change to the network. The "My Documents" folder i stored on a network drive. The IT department changed the path of the "My Documents" folder. Visual Studio has some setting files which are stored in "My Documents" and it might not have updated the path to the folder, causing the error.
What I have tried
- Ran Visual Studio as Administrator
- Repaired Visual Studio from "Add/remove programs"
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Visual Studio
- Uninstalled Resharper
Nothing has fixed the problem. Please heeeeelp!!!
