iis 7.5 - ASP.NET 4.5 has not been registered on the Web server

Question

In my Win 7 development machine, and in order to use SQL Express instance instead of the localDB installed by default. I unchecked "Use IIS Express" in my MVC 4 project properties page (Web tab), then I got the following error:

ASP.NET 4.5 has not been registered on the Web server. You need to manually configure your Web server for ASP.NET 4.5 in order for your site to run correctly.

I verified that ASP.NET is activated within the IIS features.

Please what could be done to resolve this?

Answer 1

Maybe you have to execute the following in the Visual Studio Tools command prompt:

aspnet_regiis -i
