After installing DotNetNuke and then trying to setup the VB.Net project I get an error when I select "Use Local IIS Web Server" and modify the IIS URL to point to http://localhost/dotnetnuke. Here's the error: 

"Unable to create the virtual directory.   The URL 'http://localhost/dotnetnuke'  is already mapped to a different folder location. "

This virtual directory has already been created and points to the DotNetNuke installation which comes up ok.

I'm using IIS 7 and Visual Studio 2008. The project was created in the c:\inetpub\dotnetnuke\desktopmodules folder.

How can I configure the GuestbookVB modlue to use the local IIS Web server?

Thanks very much.

You need to use the "root URL" not the project URL to be the dnn root.
