2. Open a command prompt and change directories: CD C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express
3. Execute the following command <be sure to replace the port with your port>
iisexpress.exe /path:"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles" /vpath:"/WebAdmin" /port:54442 /clr:4.0 /ntlm
4. Minimize the command window
5. Open Internet Explorer (not Edge or another browser otherwise authentication will not work)
6. Enter the following URL: (replace the port with your port and use the path to your project)
