SYMPTOMS
If you create a Web project in the English version of Microsoft Windows XP with Japanese characters in the project name, you may receive the following error message:

Web Access Failed

The default Web access mode for this project is set to file share, but the project folder at 'http://localhost/ProjectNameWithJPNCharacters' cannot be opened with the path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ProjectNameWithJPNCharacters'. The error returned was:

Unable to create Web project 'ProjectNameWithJPNCharacters'. The path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ProjectNameWithJPNCharacters' does not correspond to the URL 'http://localhost/ProjectNameWithJPNCharacters'. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, remove the Japanese characters from the project name.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

 * 1) Click Start, click Settings, point to Control Panel, and then select the Regional and Language Options applet.
 * 2) On the Language tab, verify that the Install files for East Asian Languages check box is selected. Reboot if you need to install the files.
 * 3) Click Details, click the Add button to install a new Service, and then select Japanese as the input language.
 * 4) Open Microsoft Visual Studio. NET, and create a New ASP. NET Web application.
 * 5) From the Language Bar, change the input language to Japanese.
 * 6) In the New Project dialog box, click the Location tab, and then type some Japanese text after http://localhost/ in the Location box.
 * 7) Click OK, and you will receive the error message mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section.
