This had me hung up for over a day. Our company just upgraded to Windows 8 and started causing this issue. During the upgrade a new Registry Key was added

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IIS Express

When I removed this key IIS Express would start successfully. The reason it was failing is because Visual Studio was getting paths confused for config files.
