  You must be a member of administrator group on the local computer to access the IIS Metabase in XP Pro, VS 2005 Reply Contact Hi All, I itching my head for the past one week in this problem and not able to solve this issue... I am trying to open a local IIS website from Visual studio 2005, but I am getting the below error.... I am damn sure that, my username belonging to Administrators group. And also I have logged as administrator, same result. I have re-installed the VS, IIS. but no hopes... I have added all users like IUSR, IWMA, Aspnet, Network and all to administrators group... but still no hopes... what should I do? I am using XP Proessional SP2. and its default IIS 5.1. BTW, I am able to create a website in IIS through VS 2005.
