WEB application Project is configured to use IIS. Unable to access the IIS metabase. (Configured to use the IIS Web application XXXX project. The IIS metabase cannot be accessed. ）

These days reload system, installed Win10, incredibly with vs2013 open the project appeared below this hint error, engaged for a long time to know the reason:

Even though I am an administrator on the machine, Visual Studio was not running as administrator so it does does have permis  Sion to the IIS metabase files.  One solution is to run Visual Studio as Administrator. This works if you can also take ownership of the IIS metabase files to fix this too.

Actually very simple, go to the following directory, click Continue: (Browse to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv and then double-click the "config" directory to get this Warnin G Dialog:)

Then go to config double-click (Browse to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv and then double-click the "config" directory to get this warning dialog :）

Do the same for the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\export directory and also the other directories in C:\Windows\Syste M32\inetsrv.

Now you'll be able to open the Visual Studio Web application Project without a problem.

After that, you open the VS to try again, there is no beginning error hint! Ok!
