Cannot open an old ASP.NET 1.1 application (solution) in VS 2003

I have a Problem with an very old ASP.NET 1.1 application. I cannot open (load) it in Visual Studio 2003 (on a Win 2003 server) any more. I get an error message,that the component for the communication w开发者_如何学运维ith the "Front Page - Server Extensions" cannot be found (I use a german VS 2003, so I have not the exact English message). The extensions are installed. That can be the reason for that respectively how can I solve this problem.

Another Question: Is there a possibility to open an ASP.NET 1.1 application in VS 2010? Tthe upgrade wizard tries to convert it, but the conversion results in errors.

If I remember correctly you need to create a virtual directory in IIS that maps to the directory containing the ASP.NET project - you may need to tweak the solution file in the process so the ASP.NET project path matches your IIS virtual directory path(e.g. http://localhost/VIRTUALDIRECTORY/ASP.NETProject.csproj). Ensure any .suo and .webinfo files within the solution and project folders are deleted before opening the "tweaked" solution file.

"Cannot find the components for communicating with FrontPage server exstensions". I believe this might be the error message.

Logon as another user and see if 'they' get the same problem. If the problem goes away as a different user. Destroying your local profile and then rebuilding it. Remember to back it up first as you will lose everything associated with this profile.

If that doesn't work then you should try the following (It concerns removing Beta 2 of VS 2002/2003, but the line that interested me was): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q312383

Hope that helps.
