title: How can I use SharePoint Designer with a Foundation site on Windows 7?
body: <p>I've installed SharePoint Designer and SharePoint Foundation on Windows 7 Home Premium.  Both are running, however, I have not been able to figure out how to access my Foundation Site with Designer.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to open SP Designer through the Foundation site Designer opens, but I receive the error below</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Microsoft SharePoint Designer</p>
    
    <p>Unable to open Web site.  Possible Causes:</p>
    
    <p>1)The Web server may not have SharePoint installed.</p>
    
    <p>2)The Web server may be temporarily out of service.</p>
    
    <p>3) If you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect.</p>
    
    <p>4) An error may have occurred in the Web server.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there a way to fix this?  Can I access the SP Foundation site through Designer another way?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help,
  Ben </p>
