Visual Studio 2015 can't start IIS Express

Question

When I am trying to run an ASP.Net Core project in Visual Studio 2015, a Microsoft Visual Studio dialog appears \"The project doesn\'t know how to run the profile IIS Expres

Answer 1

This dialog showed up for me when I had migrated a project from dotnet RC1 to RC2.

Before the fix I could still run it using dotnet run and from Visual Studio choosing the profile other than "IIS Express".

I had misread this guide and forgot the .Web

\DNX\Microsoft.DNX.targets –> \DotNet.Web\Microsoft.DotNet.Web.targets

After fixing this and restarting Visual Studio(not sure if needed) I could run the project using the IIS Express profile.
