trying to lunch a website application with VS2015 and port 80 is in use

Question

I am using VS2015 and I am trying to run a website application, but every time I run the project I can't load the IISExpress because it says that the port 80 is in use, I run the Tcpview.exe from SysInternals to see who was using the port, but seems not to be in use. I found some related threads saying that can be a problem with the antivirus, I am using Symantec.

Here are the properties of the project, as you can see I tried to change the port manually, but it didn't worked

See the picture below

It appears you've not selected the start URL option. Also, can you attach the error screenshot? — Gururaj, May 08 '17 at 18:44
Can you go to %user%\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config and check if you have a bindingInformation="*:80: ? — hardkoded, May 08 '17 at 18:45
@kblok I tried to remove that configuration as well and nothing happened — Heinrich, May 08 '17 at 19:07

It is something weird, if the website is inside a solution, seems that it doesn't load correctly the application and all the time the port is ins use. I solved it using this approach
