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 Express".
Does anyone know anything about this message, or how to fix it? I've searched Google and the MSDN. There's nothing in the build logs, or the Windows event log.

Configure IIS express on visual studioSelect the web application project and open properties -> select the web tab -> under server's select IIS express-> Specify the project URL. Now open the project folder and . vs folder (Hidden) -> Config -> applicationhost.
The VSCode command pallete is your friend. Press F1 on the keyboard and start typing IISExpress to see the list of commands to use.
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.
Should also be noted that as per the comments, adding .Web in the top level node is required in the xproj. <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> should be <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">.

In my case the issue was solved after added the ASP.NET and web development tool extension to my VS instalation.
