I know there have been threads made on this very topic before, but I've scoured the internet finding posts on this site and others trying to solve my problem, but nothing has helped.

I keep getting this error. Other posts have said to use the IIS manager. Which I did. I was tasked to add the application. I followed these directions, however, there's NO "Directory Browsing."

I should probably note that I'm using Visual Studios by running Windows 7 with VMWare. I have a MacBook Air. 

Please help. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. I'm trying to learn this stuff but it's difficult with these errors that keep popping up. I wonder if incompatibility with my system is an issue. 

1.Open up IIS Manager.

2.Add the website by right clicking on "Default website" and choose "Add application".

3.Enter any name as alias type and the load that website in the physical path and click OK.

4.Then go to the Features View of that Loaded Website and double click on the "Directory Browsing".

```
Click on "Actions" work space and change the "Disable" state to "Enable" state.

```

6.Then Refresh the Default Website.

7.Open the Visual Studio and go to that website. it will ask for reload , then click "yes".

8.it will add the following code in the web.config file.

<`directoryBrowse enabled="true"` />

9.Now run and see the error will disappear.
