Answer 1

The highest voted answer here did not work for me. I've recently upgraded to Windows 10 (ungh) and when I went to:

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv

...I did not get a permissions pop up. Further more when I tried to change the permissions manually, most of the options were not available or greyed out.

The end fix was to click into each folder individually inside the inetsrv directory. When I did this I received a pop up for each folder where I could gain access.

Restarted VS and voilà!
