Hi

I have installed VS2008 on a Vista Business machine.
I was working on XP on VS 2003.

I have installed the SDK kit and run the configuration mmc
to allow my shared drives to be trusted.

I have followed the instructions in
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398858.aspx
to the letter

The project converts nd asks me to upgrade to >Net 3
I click next and it tells me it has completed the operation.
In the solution explorer my website is available

I click the close button to close the wizard.
The form closes and my website disappears form the solution explorer
which says (website unavailable). If I try and reload the project
I get a meassage box

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I can create a new project in the same directory
and it runs fine so i know there is no permissions issues (anymore)

I am completely at a loss what to do.

any help appreciated

jc
