When running my solution in debug mode, IIS Express and Internet Explorer as the browser, I get the following error: <pre class="prettyprint lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>The program '[12604] iisexpress.exe: Program Trace' has exited with code 0 (0x0). The program '[12604] iisexpress.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0). </code></pre> I'm using Visual Studio 2017. If I change to Chrome, I do not get this. The only way to resolve this and still use IISExpress and IE is to go into my properties of the web project and uncheck Enable Edit and Continue under Debuggers. Any idea as to why?

The program '[12604] iisexpress.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0)

When running my solution in debug mode, IIS Express and Internet Explorer as the browser, I get the following error:

The program '[12604] iisexpress.exe: Program Trace' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program '[12604] iisexpress.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

I'm using Visual Studio 2017. If I change to Chrome, I do not get this.

The only way to resolve this and still use IISExpress and IE is to go into my properties of the web project and uncheck Enable Edit and Continue under Debuggers.

Any idea as to why?

Where is Iisexpress EXE located?

Once you have IIS Express installed (the easiest way is through Microsoft Web Platform Installer), you will find the executable file in %PROGRAMFILES%\IIS Express ( %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\IIS Express on x64 architectures) and its called iisexpress.exe .

What is Iisexpress EXE?

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.

How do I disable Iisexpress EXE?

Closing IIS Express By default Visual Studio places the IISExpress icon in your system tray at the lower right hand side of your screen, by the clock. You can right click it and choose exit. If you don't see the icon, try clicking the small arrow to view the full list of icons in the system tray.
