IIS issue with Visual Studio

I am trying to get my project to use my IIS virtual directory, here is how I have it setup..

In Windows 7..

My project has a Web Application, which is located in my Projects folder.. In IIS, I created a new Virtual Directory pointing to my Web Application, gave IIS permissions..

can access it fine using http://localhost/WebApplication

Now in Visual Studio 2010, I goto properties of the WebApplication, select "Use Local IIS Web server", type in "http://localhost/WebApplication", sits there for a few mins then a popup error..

Microsoft Visual Studio

To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:

In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.

For more information, press F1.

OK

Does not list any components missing..

Any ideas? Rather not have my project in inetp开发者_运维问答ub/wwwroot

Try running Visual Studio as administrator.

Right click your Visual Studio shortcut and click "Run as Administrator".
