How do I start IIS Express?

Question

I\'ve used the Web PI to install IIS Express. In the tray, there is not the IIS Express icon. How do I start IIS Express without using the command line? I want that IIS runs

Answer 1

In Windows 7 you can use the Windows PowerShell to hide the command window, for example i use:

start-process "c:\program files\iis express\iisexpress.exe" -workingdirectory "c:\program files\iis express" -windowstyle Hidden

PowerShell script execution is set to Restricted on most new systems by default so you might need to change that to RemoteSigned or something first.
