All of a sudden after I installed Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 gd, Visual Studio is using IIS Express when debugging a web application and it is messing up everything.
How do I get back to normal, so that stupid IISExpress is not used anymore?
Go to the project settings and on the web tab is a drop down that allows you to choose which engine to use.
I went to Project > Properties > Startup Project and then set my start up projects to start the services I need and my project. This reverted my button back to just "Start".

I'm using Visual Studio Ultimate 2015 CTP (Version 14.0.22512.0 DP), and create two asp.net 5 vnext web applications.
When one is running, and I'm starting the second one with the context menu "Debug->Start new instance" option, the IIS Express crashes instantly (Internet Explorer opens firstly the second project, and then instantly closes both, Chrome simply display only that the page doesn't exist).
The only trace that I found is in the Event Viewer, a Warning from IIS Express:
The directory specified for caching compressed content C:\Users\Alek\AppData\Local\Temp\iisexpress\IIS Temporary Compressed Files\Clr4IntegratedAppPool is invalid. Static compression is being disabled.
Any suggestions how to fix this? It's hard to work on a multi-tier project when only one project can be run at a time.
When I created manually above folder, nothing is logged to the event viewer, but the IIS Express still crashes. On Visual Studio 2013 I can run two instances of two Web Applications withtout any problems
It should work if you set your solution to use multiple startup projects and add all the projects you need to debug
Really easy steps to follow here:
http://www.magnetismsolutions.com/blog/paulnieuwelaar/2015/04/07/debug-multiple-projects-at-the-same-time-in-visual-studio
Still not as easy as previous versions of visual studio
Maybe not a solution, but a workaround which I found - running two instances of Visual Studio 2015 allow to run two projects.
I'm running Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on a Windows 8.1 (with Update 1) laptop, and I would like to debug an ASP.NET web forms project against IIS, which is installed on the local Windows 8.1 instance.
Previous versions of Visual Studio had an option to use IIS Express or full IIS, but I cannot find that option in the Project properties anymore.
How do I deploy & debug my ASP.NET web forms project in full IIS?
EDIT: When I right-click on my project, I see this:
And then if I click on "Properties Window" I see this:
This is one way to have your project available in IIS:
Press Ctrl+X, type inetmgr
or
Open your IIS Manager Application.
Expand the tree on the left.
Add WebSite
Give a name to the website and port
For file location provide the same file location were your project is.
Assuming your port number is 3000 just simply type http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
Now from Visual Studio go to:
file Open...
WebSite (you will see that IIS is available on the left).
Open your new web site
This will let you debug from IIS and any changes you make will be directly made on IIS as well.
I just double checked one of my local Web Forms applications locally running in Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate on Windows 8.1. The settings are still there. If you open the project properties for your Web Forms project, you should see the following:
After selecting Local IIS, setting a port, and saving, you should be walked through the process of configuring a Virtual Directory for your site (if one isn't already configured).
EDIT
After looking at your edit, it looks like you've created a Web Site Project rather than a Web Application Project. You can read about the various differences here:
Web Application Projects versus Web Site Projects in Visual Studio
If you haven't written any significant code yet, I'd suggest deleting the Web Site Project and creating a new Web Application Project. You'll then see the settings as described above.
If you really want to keep the Web Site Project, you'll have to configure the site in IIS and then open it in Visual Studio using the 'Open Web Site...' dialog (and then choosing Local IIS as the source):
I have downloaded this blog engine
https://github.com/lelandrichardson/MiniBlog
I cannot run it within Visual Studio because it wants IIS : how to change this ?
If your project doesn't load in Visual Studio (it is greyed out), you need to manually edit the project file (MiniBlog.csproj) in a text editor. You just need to look for the UseIIS tag, and change its value to False:
<UseIIS>False</UseIIS>
When you do the above, Visual Studio should be able to load the project. It should now default to the Visual Studio web server.
Once you are able to load the project in Visual Studio, you can choose another web server, if you wish. You just need to right-click on the project in the tree view and then select Properties. From there, if you open the Web tab, you can choose the legacy Visual Studio Web Development Server, IIS Express (you may need to install this), or the Server version of IIS.
Just a note - I was unable to actually build the project that you linked to. There appear to be missing dlls, but that is out of the scope of this question.
try to add IIS Express 7.5 for visual studio http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1038
We are using Visual Studio 2008 on IIS 7, and on some machines we are having trouble getting Visual Studio to recognize our website as an IIS website. On most machines it is configured properly, displaying and running under http://localhost/websitename. But on a couple of machines - using the same solution file - it loads it as a directory/asp.net site: in VS it appears as c:...\foldername, and when running it, it comes up as http://localhost:randomportnumber/websitename.
We tried removing and then re-adding the site through the File-> Open Website-> Local IIS, but when we select the site it automatically changes it to a asp.net site.
Thanks in advance.
In the properties of the project, you can specify whether or not to use IIS or the built-in ASP.NET server.
When you debug a website and you see the odd port number after local, you are running the visual studio web server Cassini and not through IIS.
You can configure this when you go to property settings on your website.
After installing service pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010 cannot create web site in IIS. Here is error message:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Configuring Web http://localhost/MyWebSite for ASP.NET 3.5 failed.
You must manuallyconfigure this site for ASP.NET 3.5 in order for
the site to run correctly. Visual Studio cannot detect whether this
virtual root has been configured for use with ASP.NET 2.0. The likely
cause is that you do not have sufficient priviledges to access the
IIS metabase. You may need to manually configure this site for
ASP.NET 2.0 in order for your site to run correctly.

Does anybody know how to fix it ? Thanks!
P.S. I'm using windows7 x64.
Have you tried run Visual Studio with "Run As Administrator" from right click?
This happened to me when I deleted the default application pool.
Thanks to a Microsoft Connect report, I was able to solve this by choosing a new default application pool under the "Web Site Defaults" properties of the Sites node in the IIS 7 Manager tree.
Try changing the .Net version your Application Pool is using.
Open IIS Manager from Administrative Tools.
Select Application Pools on the left.
On the right, double click 'DefaultAppPool' (or whichever you may have created)
Under .Net Framework Version select v3.5.
Click OK and restart IIS.
I don't know if you have to restart IIS or not, but it won't hurt.
I found the answer here:
Visual Studio 2013. You do not have sufficient privilege to access IIS web sites on your machine
IIS stores a config file on your personal drive. At my company our shared drive was down for maintenance and I was getting this error. Once the drive came back online VS.NET started working again.
