Unable to create the virtual directory. Could not find the server 'http://remoteMachine' on the local machine. Creating a virtual directory is only supported on the local IIS server.

Visual studio giving me error on virtual directory

Hallo Dudley.

You should try right-clicking your Visual Studio shortcut on the desktop and  then choose to run the program as an administrator.

If that still brings the issue, do the following:

• In Visual Studio, you will need to open an existing Web application project, or you can just create a new one.

• After that go to the Project menu, and then click Properties, and after that click Web.

• Next you will need to click Use Local IIS Web server.

• And then you will enter a URL for the project, and then click Create Virtual Directory.

See if that helps you resolve the issue.

Regards,

Carl
