VSeWSS 1.3
includes a web service that needs to run as a member of the local
Administrators group. The web service is used by the Visual Studio extension to
communicate with SharePoint and is restricted to local connections only. As a
security precaution the installer does not add the account running the web
service to the local Administrators group. You must do it. If you select the
default during install the web service is run under the account that SharePoint
Central Administration runs as. To do this:
1)
Run Internet Information
Services (IIS) Manager to look up the account name
2)
Run Computer Manager to edit
the Administrators group and add the account
3)
