I bought a new PC on Windows 8 last week.
First I installed VS 2010 on it, but then it did not work properly, so I uninstalled VS 2010, and then installed the professional version of VS 2012 and SQL Server 2012.
Now I can create Windows applications, but I cannot run even a simple ASP.Net site.
When I try to view Default.aspx in a browser, it gives an error message that
Unable to connect to the configured development web server
after which I turned on or removed the components and installed IIS. but i am still getting this error message.
Even if I try to save the site in a folder, the ASP.Net development server cannot start the web page.
I am getting the same error message using the IIS development server or ASP.Net.
I'm interested in a security issue with Windows 8?
How can I make sure my ASP.net Development server is installed correctly and has the appropriate permissions to run?
Does ASP.net work with regular Windows 8? or do i need windows 8 pro? The Microsoft website does not say anything about this, so I assume that Windows 8 should work because the Windows Forms application works.
Please inform. I just want to be able to run a simple ASP.Net application to verify the installation.
I tried http://forums.asp.net/t/1768992.aspx/1 , but in this case it did not work.
