Its look like when other products made swift trasaction towards VS 2005 the CMS 2002 is just one painfull product to do much in this regard. Why not Microsoft simply let SPS v3 do the cleanup for this un sucessfull product

The problem here is VS.NET - not MCMS.
The behaviour of VS.NET changed in a way that it is no longer possible to exclude specific virtual directories easily.
As you can see in Spencers article the VS.NET team recognized the limitations of the current implementation of VS.NET 2005 and are working on a solution for this.

That is not correct!
Changing the CMS virtual directory into a web application will cause serious problems during authoring!

Just wanted to add a note that you must not cascade the hidden attribute down the directory tree as this causes 404 errors when MCMS tries to access the files contained within.

This 'workaround' appears to break the Publish Website facility. Great.

Hi Alastair, seems you did not only apply this to the directories but also to all content inside these directories.
You should NOT apply this to the subdirectories.

Works great for our current project w/o switching back and forth on IIS. Thanks!

This does NOT work for me. I have set IIS_CMS to hidden but still the project builds with errors from the CMS folder. Here is the error:

Error 'Microsoft.ContentManagement.SharePoint.Dialogs.DialogBase' does not contain a definition for 'IDS_CSS_BACKGROUND1' c:\Program Files\Microsoft Content Management Server\Server\IIS_CMS\WssIntegration\Controls\DialogTitle.ascx 5

I have to also set sub directory WssIntegration to hidden.

Hi Philip, this is as expected.

You need to set the CONTENT of IIS_CMS to hidden - not IIS_CMS itself.
