Few days ago, I just want to create a virtual directory for
my ASP.Net web project. I just go to the “Solution Explorer” and “Right click”
on the Web project in the floating menu choose the “Properties” of the Web
project.
 |
| Project Properties Float Menu |
In the Properties page, Select “Web” Tab and select the
option “Use Local IIS web Server” and then click “Create Virtual Directory”
button. At that time the below error occurred:
Unable
to create the virtual directory. To access local IIS Web sites, you must run
Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.
 |
| Virtual Directory Creation Error |
Solution:
The reason for the above error is, I did not run the Visual
Studio in the Administrator Context. So that I add the Visual Studio’s privilege
level to Administrator.
In order to do that, Select the Visual Studio Program and
right click select Properties.
In the Property popup, Select the “Compatibility” tab and
check “Run this Program as an administrator” and then click “Apply”.

| Visual Studio - Properties Popup |
That’s it now close the visual studio and reopen it. You can
now create the Virtual directory in Properties page without any problem.
 |
| Virtual Directory Successfully Created |
Hope this helps a bit!
