SDL Tridion 2011 - Unable to add parent publications

Question

I have a problem with my development VM with SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 installed on it.

When I add a new publication, I cannot add an existing Publication as a parent and so I am unable to create a BluePrint hierarchy.

The add Publication button flashes up the dialog but then it disappears.

Each Publication seems to be created in its own BluePrint hierarchy..

Am I missing something really obvious?

Answer 1

You need to create a root structure group before you can use a publication as a parent publication.
