Error Creating Web Application Using Visual InterDev
This article was previously published under Q238881
When you attempt to create a new project with Visual InterDev, the following error message may occur:
Cannot create a disk-based Web application in 'C:\WINNT\Profiles\username\Personal\Visual Studio Projects\Projectname\Projectname_Local'. Config File "": value "Global FrontPageRoot" not found.
The path in the error message may vary due to your configuration.
Visual InterDev checks the Frontpg.ini file for the FrontPageRoot directive. If the directive is not there, the project is not created and the error message occurs.
To resolve this problem, do the following:
- Click Start, and then click Run.
- Type "Frontpg.ini" (without the quotation marks) in the Open: dialog box and click OK. (This opens the Frontpg.ini file in Notepad.)
Note: If there is no Frontpg.ini file on the computer, create a text file with this name and save it to the Winnt folder. - Make sure that the file looks similar to the following:
[FrontPage 3.0]
FrontPageRoot=d:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage
FrontPageLangID=0x0409
UILangAbbrev=enu
NoAbsoluteFileResults=1
NoServerFileResults=1
BotCacheDir=d:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage\BotCache
CheckedHostName=treys
HostOverride=
- If the FrontPageRoot entry is missing, add the following in the [FrontPage 3.0] section:
FrontPageRoot=
You do not need to add a value. - Save the file.
You should now be able to create a project.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
