I have tried for three weeks now to find my error and am going to finally give in and ask for help. issexpress launches fine but when I try and go to the browser as directed on page 615 I keep getting an error that it can not read the config file. I have confirmed the physical path, my web site accesses the data base, but somewhere I am missing something. Anybody encountered this error that could steer me in the right direction. No more hair left to pull out over this.

Hi there,

Can you post the full commands you're executing at the command line?

iisexpress.exe /path:"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.3031 9\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles" /vpath:"/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles" /port:8082 /clr:4.0 /ntlm

I have tried changing port numbers, iisexpress launches and registers to but does not load the config file as shown in the result expected on page 615. I believe that my issue stems from the way in which I originally set up the web site and then tried to move it, my visualstudio solution is in the BegASPNET folder but the webconfig file is in my user folder. My site works fine but I may have backed myself into a corner because iisexpress can not seem to find the web config file.

Actually I was wrong, the web config file is in the correct format and location, iisexpress is not seeing the file, when I run iisexpress.exe without any parameters it loads as port 8080 so I tried using that port with the above command line, same result. For some reason iisexpress will not see and register the file. I am wondering about security settings etc, is there something that could be blocking iis from seeing the file.

Where is your site located exactly? In other words, which folder has your web.config global.asax etc?

Also, how does your second command to browse to the site look?
