SYMPTOMS
When you create a new project with the Web Project Wizard in Visual InterDev 1.0, the following error message occurs:

Server Error: Cannot mark a folder executable on this server

A subweb is created on the server; however, Visual InterDev 1.0 cannot open it.



CAUSE
Visual InterDev 1.0 attempts to set the project folder as executable; however, this does not work because the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions installation disables the Allow Authors to Upload Executables option.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the Internet Service Manager MMC.
 * 2) Right-click the virtual server name.
 * 3) Click Properties.
 * 4) Click the Server Extensions tab.
 * 5) Select the Don't Inherit Security Settings check box.
 * 6) Check Allow Authors to Upload Executables.
 * 7) Click OK.
