I am running Windows Vista and VS 2005 and I cannot create an asp.net project. It gives me the following error:

Unable to create the We 'http://localhost/WebSite'. The Web server does not appear to have the FrontPage server extensions installed.

I then naturally tried to install the FrontPage server extensions, but then discovered it is no longer supported and cannot be installed on Windows Vista. I'm not sure if this is possibly an IIS problem or not because when i try to open an already made .aspx page from the internet explorer it gives me the following error:

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message:
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Source Error:


Line 24: ASP.NET to identify an incoming user.
Line 25: -->
Line 26: <authentication mode="Windows"/>
Line 27: <!--
Line 28: The <customErrors> section enables configuration


Source File: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\visualcsharpcorref\web.config Line: 26

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it because I've run out of ideas.
