[Solved] The Web Application project ‘MyWebApp’ is configured to use IIS error

“The Web Application project ‘MyWebApp’ is configured to use IIS.

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

IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility Authentication”

This happens when a project created using Visual Studio 2008 is imported opened using Visual Studio 2010. To solve this issue do the following

1) Open your CSProj file in a text editor

2) Replace the following lines


&lt;UseIIS&gt;True&lt;/UseIIS&gt;

with

&lt;UseIIS&gt;False&lt;/UseIIS&gt;

and

&lt;IISUrl&gt;http://localhost/site&lt;/IISUrl&gt;

with

&lt;CustomServerUrl&gt; http://localhost/site &lt;/CustomServerUrl&gt;
