Get IIS Express Physical Path from Command Line

Question

I have a project which physical path is: C:\\Users\\username\\Documents\\My Web Sites\\WebSite1\\

How do I obtain that from the command line? Either with CMD, wmic or powershell it doesn't matter.

I am running the IIS Express server manually, with: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IIS Express>iisexpress.exe in case that helps.

For the IIS Server I can do this:

cat C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config | sls "physicalPath"

and then:

dir env:SystemDrive

I am not sure if there is another option

Answer 1

Here is the best solution I have found:

$assembly = [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("$env:systemroot\system32\inetsrv\Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll")

$iis = new-object Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager "$env:systemroot\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config"

foreach ($site in $iis.Sites) { echo $site.Applications["/"].VirtualDirectories["/"].PhysicalPath; }
