Install IIS express and Create Folder Structure
The following was performed on a WIndows 10 Home 64bit VM - representing a low end personally owned laptop.
Create a new folder in the root of c called inetpub and another folder below that called wwwroot, so the result is c:\inetpub\wwwroot. This structure will mimic the IIS setup, even though we will uses IIS Express.
At the same level as inetpub create another folder called iisexpress , so the result is C:\inetpub\iisexpress.
The result should look like this:
In this example we are using IIS Express 10.0, on a 64bit system (iisexpress_amd64_en-US.msi) . This can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48264.
Select either the 32bit version (iisexpress_x86_en-US.msi) or the 64bit version and langauage as applicable to your system.
Run the installer and follow the prompts.
