VS2012 IIS Express Option Disabled

I have just installed VS2012 and created a MVC project. I right clicked on project and selected property, I chose Web tab. I selected "Use Local IIS Web server" but the "Use IIS Express" checkbox is disabled.

I checked my C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\ folder and IIS Express 8 is there.

Any particular reason?


If I fall back to use Visual Studio Development Server, I have 50% of the chance to see "Server Too Busy" message.

How do I disable IIS Express?

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.

How do I enable 32 bit applications in IIS Express?

The 32 bit version can be found at c:\program files (x86)\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe and the 64 bit version can be found at c:\program files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe . IIS Express ignores the enable32BitAppOnWin64 attribute. To run the app pool as 32 bit, you must execute the 32 bit version of IIS Express.

All you have to do is to activate IIS in your development machine:

Start -> Control Panel -> Enable or disable Windows features -> Internet Services

Then check mark in World Wide Web Services -> Common HTTP Features

And check mark in World Wide Web Services -> Application development Features

That's all you need.
