Visual Studio 2013 IIS Express

I cannot use VS2013 due to the fact that the "Visual Studio Development Server" option is missing. You can only use IIS Express, or an external host. When I use IIS Express, I get one of several errors when I launch a website with F5.

  1. Failed to register URL "" for site "" application "/". Error description: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0x800700b7)

  2. Cannot process request because the process (8204) has exited.

Neither of them make sense. I tried deleting all the configured sites in the IIS express config. I tried reinstalling IIS Express, Visual Studio. I don't see how the first error can occur. In all the demos I've seen, you can just hit F5 in VS and it works. This isn't the case here.

When it is really that weird, try to disable your antivirus software for a short while to test if that's the culprit. - Lex Li

Right click on the Project in your solution and pick Properties.

Select web on the left side.

Choose IIS Express

Enter Project url

example:

or you could check 'Override application root url' and type url like above
