Question

I don't have admin rights on my machine, so I can't install IIS Express with the wizard, so I have unpacked the installer into a folder.

I can edit the applicationhost.config manually and it runs exactly as I should, but how can I tell SharpDevelop (4.3) where it is?

When I switch to the Web tab on the project properties it tells me

Local IIS or IIS Express was not found.

and the only option I have is to Disable web server options.

Am I missing an option, or is there a (HKCU) registry setting I can tweak?

Solution

Unfortunately it is not currently configurable. Currently SharpDevelop looks for the IIS Express executable in program files.

You could try setting the project's properties so it uses IIS Express as a startup program. This can be configured if you select the Debug tab in the project properties.

Alternatively you could download the source code and edit the WebProjectService class to use the correct path.
