Visual Studio 2013 and ASP.NET Web Configuration Tool

by

On the console, copy and paste exactly what is written here:

"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe" /path:c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles /vpath:"/asp.netwebadminfiles" /port:8089 /clr:4.0 /ntlm

It doesn’t matter if you open cmd.exe with administrator privileges or not, just copy paste the above code on the console and don’t exit with “q” until you’re done!

Then open a browser window and write this on the address bar:

http://localhost:8089/asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=[Exact_Project_Path]\&applicationUrl=/

Be sure to copy & paste your project path from windows explorer as it is, it will work 😉

I hope Microsoft adds this back to the next update of VS2013! It’s not convenient for anybody to copy & paste codes around just to handle membership like we did in the past…

Hope that helps!

IMPORTANT EDIT: I am sorry, I just realized that it matters if you start the console with administrator privileges. Don’t do that. If console has administrator rights, the Web Configuration Tool shows this error on the Security page:

There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient
permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not
being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where
you can choose a new data store. The following message may help in
diagnosing the problem: Access to the path
‘C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET
Files\root\1c3fef5c\2180c7f9\hash’ is denied.
