I'm using VS2010 Express with SP1 on XP Pro SP3. I have a web development site on a local drive that was running fine under IIS Express. Now when I launch under IISEx it give "cannot display web page" the first time, and the second time IISEx goes up to 50% CPU usage and doesn't come done, eventually freezing the machine for at least several minutes (at which point I do a hard restart). The site works fine under the VS Development Server (Cassini).
I made two changes that might have affected things. 1) I made a copy of the site for operations testing and got it to run under IIS 5.1. Then I pointed IIS at the development site, and could not get it to run (can't remember why, exactly, could be I just didn't configure IIS properly). 2) I renamed the folder that the development site was in, and then could not figure out how to get VS2010Ex to recognize it on the start page; it keeps showing the site only as localhost:4XXX (I'm not at that computer right now). Also, the site keep reverting to VS Dev server, so I have to reselect IISEx each time I try to test it.
I tried uninstaling IISEx and reinstalling, no joy.
Any suggestions on how to get IIS Express back up and running would be appreciated.
Thanks!
