Hello,
For the past five days I have been fighting an issue with IIS Express not working correctly. As of right now I have uninstalled Visual Studio 2015 3 times, along with every component. Ran CC Cleaner on the registry until it
came back clean, and done a refresh on the machine. Yes I went nuclear on it. Unfortunately I have gotten no where's near being able to debug my application anymore. Originally I was getting a AspNetCoreModule error with IIS Express.
I finally found the offending .dll and placed it in both the IIS Express folder for Program Files and Program Files (x86). Now I am getting unable to connect to web server 'IIS Express'.
I have followed every step in the following articles with no success what so ever:

I have gone to my to the following directory and deleted the applicationhost.config file (C:\Users\Michael.Mastro2\Source\Workspaces\Lotro\Lotro.Application\.vs\config)
I have uninstalled and reinstalled IIS Express 10 about 4 times after the Visual Studio uninstall / reinstalls.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft .Net Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2 (1.0.2.1114.69) about 8 times.
I have also tried to switch from IIS Express to the project via the Debug tab in the Properties of the application, and that still does not work.
I am at wits end, this is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I set this up incorrectly?
