When I create a new Web application using VS2015, I get an applicationHost file created in the new .vs folder. This file contains configuration information for IIS Express.

Where is the template for this file located?

  • Note: the reason that I needed to edit the applicationHost file was due to the following error message that I was getting when I attempted to Debug/Run: "Unable to connect to IIS Express" I needed to edit the .NET runtime version to fix the problem as mentioned in the following answer: [stackoverflow.com/a/15644577/2504433](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15584862/iis-express-not-working-in-visual-studio-2012/15644577#15644577) – Darren Neimke Jul 30 '15 at 13:21

I see the files at 2 locations (32Bit and 64Bit Program Folder) in my Windows 10 + VS2015:

"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationhost.config"


"C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationhost.config"

  • Thanks, I was editing the file in the first location and it wasn't making a difference. When I edited the file in the x86 folder, the changes came through in new projects I was creating. – Darren Neimke Jul 30 '15 at 13:18
