Under the IIS Express folder in the C:\Program (x86) folder there's the appcmd.exe. First you need to add a virtual directory with the follwoing command:
appcmd add vdir /app.name:<site_name>/ /path:/<virtual_directory> /physicalPath:<physical_location>
If there is no site you can add one by yourself:
appcmd add site /name:SITENAME /id:2 /physicalPath:C:\PHYSICAL_PATH /bindings:http/*:8080
If you want to install the Service on the Default Web Site (if there is one) you can use the following:
vdir /app.name:"Default Web Site"/ /path:/service /physicalPath:C:\PHYSICAL_PATH

Claudio, but port number of web site in my PC1 is "9090", will it work with port "8080" in PC2?? Thanks – Nitesh Kothari Feb 12 '15 at 07:51

If the existing site listens to port 9090 you should type 9090. Mine is just an example. But it's possible to configure each open port – Claudio P Feb 12 '15 at 07:53

Claudio, ok thanks brother!! Do I have to change configuration in application.config file?? Thanks for your time. – Nitesh Kothari Feb 12 '15 at 07:54

First code of adding virtual directory, that you showed, can you tell me about "path"? Will it be static? I understood the physical path. – Nitesh Kothari Feb 12 '15 at 07:59

it must be an id which isn't used yet. Usually there's a standard site with the id 1. So 2 should be free. – Claudio P Feb 12 '15 at 08:06

Ok brother, last one thing can you tell me?? What about "path" and "physical path" keywords? Thanks man @Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 12 '15 at 08:09
-
Physical Path is the path to the folder were you're application is. Path is virtual and this is the path were you can access your service. For example: **localhost:9090/service**. Or if you type / as the path you can access your service via: **localhost:9090** – Claudio P Feb 12 '15 at 08:13

Ok, All I understood very well, so path and phsical path keywords are just for example. Is it right? @Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 12 '15 at 08:17

Hello brother, I am not able to launch appcmd.exe from IIS Express. Whenever I launch it, it closes automatically within a second. What to do? Thanks @Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 13 '15 at 09:08

Means copy the project folder to the IIS express folder? Is it so? @Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 13 '15 at 09:12
-
No. Just change directory in your console to the directory where appcmd.exe is. On my pc it would be teh command: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express". After that you can call the appcmd command. – Claudio P Feb 13 '15 at 09:13

I am really sorry but I m not getting what are you trying to say? @Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 13 '15 at 09:15
-
Or type instead of appcmd: C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\appcmd.exe" or whatever the path is on your computer – Claudio P Feb 13 '15 at 09:16
-
I understand, my path is also the same one, but I am not able to launch appcmd.exe, how do I type? Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 13 '15 at 09:19
-
I am trying open appcmd.exe directly but doesn't opening. It opens and closes within a second. – Nitesh Kothari Feb 13 '15 at 09:43
-
Ohh, means through command prompt, right? I thought these all I have to type in appcmd. Thanks @Claudio – Nitesh Kothari Feb 13 '15 at 09:46

Yes possible.
Steps for check:
- Whether that system is connected with LAN.
- You have to Set the IP address for PC2 in Edit Bindings(IIS)
