title: Configuring IIS Express failed with the following error: Unable to acces the IIS metabase
body: <p>When I try to create a new ASP.NET Empty Web Site in Visual Studio Premium 2013 on my windows 8.1 machine, I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <p>Configuring IIS Express failed with the following error:<br>
  Unable to acces the IIS metabase. You do not have sufficient privilege to acces IIS web sites on your machine.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware questions about this error have been asked all around the web numerous times and I have tried every solution I came upon so far, but nothing has worked. I have reinstalled Visual Studio, I have reinstalled IIS several times (and included all options), I have obviously run Visual Studio as administrator and I have navigated to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\Export and clicked "Continue" on the popups I got (for permission to access the folders).<br>
  I am completely out of ideas and sincerely hope that one of you can help me with my problems, thanks.</p>
