Microsoft Visual Studio 2013: Cannot Create a new Asp.Net project

File -> New -> Website -> ASP.NET Web Forms Site -> OK

Configuring IIS Express failed with the following error:

Filename: redirection.config
Error: Cannot read configuration file

So I've tried several solutions. I checked and already have IIS Express installed. I also am running as admin. I don't know what else to do and googling just tells me to turn it on (it's checked in my tools options)

File -> New -> Project -> ASP.NET WebApplication -> Web Forms Template -> Ok

Unspecified error(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))

Are these related? Why can't I do anything related to ASP? My Documents folder is not encrypted.

Result: I eventually got a new computer where this problem did not occur, so I did not personally solve this problem. Sorry.

In my case it worked fine after I went to IISExpress folder Documents\IISExpress\config and unchecked the "encrypt content to segure data" cause by default win 8.1 will encrypt it.

Same issue due to having IIS Express 10.

Resolved by clicking Repair on it in Programs & Features. Took 5 seconds and it was fixed.

I was having the same issue. Here's what worked for me.

  • Close Visual Studio.
  • Navigate to your Documents folder, and then the IISExpress subfolder.
  • Rename the "config" folder to something else. "configBACKUP" will do.
  • Open Visual Studio and try to create a new ASP.NET project.

IISExpress will create the necessary .configs in a brand new "config" folder.
