IIS Express 800700c1 error with Visual Studio 2015 ASP.Net MVC

This is what happens when I run IIS Express with the config visual studio made for my ASP.Net MVC project. If I run iisexpress.exe with no parameters, that server starts up fine. I don't know how I should hunt this problem down. I think the error code means something is corrupted, but I don't see how that is likely.

Starting IIS Express ...

This error occurs when you use the wrong bitness of IISExpress for the website. If it is a 32 bit site, use C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe; if it is a 64 bit site, use C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe.
