I was just asking Cerebrus if I could use the "as IIS project" without actually installing IIS. I'm an expert at using IIS and server administration, etc. and could definitely install IIS on my local machine if I had to. And my issue has nothing to do with file system security.
My question is, how do I configure a subfolder as an application in Visual Studio 2008, assuming no IIS. I think Sammael may have the solution, but I'm looking for specific steps, considering I'm working with a folder inside a folder, both of which have to be projects it sounds like.
