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

I don't think running IIS Express without the command line is achievable unless you're successful in writing a separate program to do it, as some have attempted to do in this related question.

Quoting the online documentation:

IIS Express is a lightweight, self-contained version of IIS optimized for developers. IIS Express makes it easy to use the most current version of IIS to develop and test websites. It has all the core capabilities of IIS 7 as well as additional features designed to ease website development including:

• It doesn't run as a service or require administrator user rights to perform most tasks.
• IIS Express works well with ASP.NET and PHP applications.
• Multiple users of IIS Express can work independently on the same computer.
