Where is the IIS Express install directory?

Question

I have recently started an asp.net tutorial, and I want to test my page that I made with WebMatrix. How ever, there's an error:

The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

So it suggests to Enable directory browsing and go to the IIS Express install directory and run a command.

So where is this located exactly?

Answer 1

The user Data files are present here:

C:\Users\[username]\Documents\IISExpress

If that's the error. Then you might have got the error 404.13 ( Forbidden ) on your browser.

You can try to edit the web.config file and add this:

<system.webServer>
   <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>

This would allow the server to read the files and process them. This is a server settings error. And I think this might help you out.

Update

As suggested by jamiebarrow , you can get to that directory directly using the following path in your Windows File Explorer,

%userprofile%\documents\IISExpress

Answer 2

My directory is located here:

C:\\Program Files\\IIS Express

Answer 3

找到注册表项 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\IISExpress\\ 参数 InstallPath

Answer 4

☢ ☣ ⚠ If you are using OneDrive with Document Sync check the folder:

C:\Users\[your-account]\OneDrive\Documentos\IISExpress\config

The common way on %userprofile%\\documents\\IISExpress said from @Afzaal sadly not works for this case (OneDrive)

Also, remenber to make the folder always on the computer (right click on folder... onedrive option)
