title: Visual studio 2013 Can't open a shared project
body: <p>Trying to send a copy of my project to a college but when they try to open it they get an error. I have only zipped up the file and even tried sharing it through a shared folder but still the same error.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Error</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>http ://localhost:1185 : error  : Error opening web ://localhost:1185. Unable to open the Web site 'http ://localhost:1185'.  The Web server '://localhost:1185' could not be found.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Tried following Bangla Gopal Surya Prakash's article on Code Project:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/290089/Error-Unable-to-open-the-Web-site-http-localhost-T" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/290089/Error-Unable-to-open-the-Web-site-http-localhost-T</a> </p>
  
  <p>but still couldn't get it to work.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>Any tips on how to improve the question?</p>
