In the question at link Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server the OP lists the same exact issue I am having. However, all of the solutions proposed on that page have already been attempted to no avail

  1. In the comment on the question Robel suggests that "You must manually configure this site for ASP.NET 4.5 in order for the site to run correctly." is explicit. However, the target framework already specifies 4.5, and the application pool that the listing for the site in applicationhost.config is set for APS.Net 4.0.30319 which I found out today is in fact .Net framework 4.5.
  2. Robill states that SSL needs to be configured as per the hanselman site. Both by hanselman site and by the Jason Shaver site at http://www.jasonrshaver.com/post/2011/09/28/WP7-Client-Certificates-Part-2-(Client-Certs-on-the-Browser).aspx the applicationhost.config has been set up for SSL for at least a year.
  3. Jason Spire and atticae both stated that renaming the IIS Express folder and re-runniong the solution will recreate the applicationhost.config file. I had renamed and moved the applicationhost.config file earlier today before seeing that thread. The solution failed to run with practically the same message except it said it added it could not find the web site, and no applicationhost.config file was created.
  4. jacob lauzier stated I needed to change the binding protocol to "https" for the site.
  5. Finally others said to uncheck "Override Application Root URL" checkbox. Mine is not and has never been checked.

Can anyone provide any other suggestions on how to rectify this issue?

  • OK I got IISExpress working without SSL using the original applicationhost.config. I did this renaming IISExpress folder instead of applicationhost.config. Then going back to the original IISexpress folder and removing the one newly created. However, it still will not run SSL web apps even after adding the flag SendTrustedIssuer as recommended by MS support because VS 2012 has update 4 installed. (see http://forums.asp.net/t/1982919.aspx?Visual+Studio+Update+4+Broke+IIS+Express+ability+to+request+Client+Certificates+ ) Will uninstall VS2012 and IISEpress and install Update 3. – user1161391 Jul 09 '14 at 14:04
  • IISExpress and VB uninstalled and reinstalled with version RTM. However, apllicationhost.config set up that originally allowed SSL to run recommended by Jason Shaver and fix implemented by MS Support still will not allow SSL apps to run in Debug. all you get is "Internet Explorer cannot display web page". The IISExpress logs merely show that a status of 500 was returned for a call using SSL to that app but when it is reconfigured as not SSL it returns a 200 status and the page opens just fine. This is the same in every site configured as SSL even the most simple. – user1161391 Jul 10 '14 at 21:20
