Missing components to configure and manage IIS express - asp.net-core

I am attempting to launch & debug an ASP.NET 5 project from within Visual Studio, and getting the error message "Missing components to configure and manage IIS express".
The solution builds without error. But IIS Express will not start and allow me to debug.
I have tried restarting Visual Studio and ensuring that the ports used by the project are free to use.

close Visual Studio
try deleting .vs folder and rerunning
open Visual Studio and try relaunching

According to the error message, we can have a try with the following:
1.Close solution, delete .vs folder if this issue only happens in the specific solution
2.Delete the folder IIS express folder: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\iisexpress
3.Delete temporary ASP.NET Files located: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root

Start > Run > appwiz.cpl > Add/Remove Components > Install the full version of IIS.
Or if the full version of Internet Information Services (IIS) is currently installed do a Repair.

Unable to start program "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe"

I've installed .NET Core 1.0.1 to use with VS 2015 Update 3 and I'm running as Administrator (on Windows 8.1 x64).
If I create any .NET Core project, be it console or web and attempt to run it Visual Studio then comes up with an error:
However I'm unable to ascertain why. VS builds it fine and I can run it from the CLI. I can also run Core fine through VSCode.
I've tried:
Deleting project.lock.json
Deleting the .vs folder
Repairing the .NET Core install
Repairing the VS 2015 install
Uninstalling and reinstalling .NET Core/SDK/Tooling & VS
Rebooting
And it still refuses to work!
I've raised this on the Core Tooling GitHub as well as can be seen here but as yet we're all a little stumped.
There are some people who have problems with Internet Explorer and Visual Studio.
Attempt to install Internet Explorer 9, or set a different default browser.
Other approaches:
Was the data path checked?
Perhaps there are wrong configured environment variables?
Are you sure that the configuration was reset by the installation?
Perhaps the path for the temporary data has been changed?
Try re-installing needed redistributables, as they are needed for executing .Net Core on Windows, as it is stated here :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/windows-prerequisites
"NET Core requires the VC++ Redistributable when running on Windows"
If it don't work, add a try/catch at the highest level of your application and log all System.Exceptions that may occur. It may give you more informations about this error.
This error occurs if you change the name of the project. To work around this error You will have to delete all files under \object and \bin folders. After that rebuild application.
Restart the visual studio in administrator mode. This solved my problem.

I ran into this same error on VS2013.
Maybe this also works for vs2012
Run the NuGet.Tools.vsix.exe file under C:\Program Files (x86)\NuGet\Visual Studio 12
Start vs2013 again and you should be able to create the mvc project.

Getting Auto Deploy to work with MSBuild on a build server

Please pardon a newbie's question about MS TFS and Visual Studio 2012, I hope I'm using the correct vocabulary.
Our shop has recently moved to MS TFS and Visual Studio 2012 to build internal web services for integration. Currently we have a TFS 2010 Server running on Server2008R2 and a Build server on a Windows 7 box, our dev application server is also running Server2008R2. I have been given the job of getting a nightly build and deployment running. I have the build definition working but the deployment portion is not functioning. I have installed Web Deploy on both the dev application server and the build server as per these articles:
http://www.kevingao.net/version-control/how-to-auto-deploy-web-application-with-tfs-build-server.html
and
http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-publishing-technologies/installing-and-configuring-web-deploy
We have configured an user, web_deploy_dev in active director and that user is a local admin on the dev app server.
The parameters added to the build definition are:
/p:DeployOnBuild=True
/p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish
/p:MSDeployServiceURL="https://PA-APPSRV1-DEV:8172/msdeploy.axd" /* double quotes not in original code */
/p:DeployIISAppPath="DW/DWServices" /* E:\Webroot\DW\DWServices */
/p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True
/p:MsDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC
/p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True
/p:UserName=migp\web_deploy_dev
/p:Password=******
I suspect that MSBUILD is not even calling msdeploy.exe as I see no errors in the windows event and application logs, but I do not know all the places to look. I can use a web browser and connect to the service on the dev app server as the web_deploy_dev user from the build server, I receive a web page not found error after inputting user name and PW, but I assume that is to be expected.
I am at a loss as to where to look next, I've tried searching the web but nothing I try seems to work.
Thank you in advance for your help and input.

It sounds like you are experiencing a problem where your build completes and claims success, but you aren't getting any error and nothing is actually deployed. When I've experienced this with my TeamCity build server, the problem was that MSBuild was not set up on the machine that would do the building and deploying. These are my steps to resolve the problem I think you might be having:
Make sure that at least Visual Studio Express is installed. you can tell if a full enough version of Visual Studio is installed by navigating to the
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\ directory. If you see folders like 10.0, 11.0, or '12.0', look inside them and verify that there is a Microsoft.WebApplications.targets file. Note the versions that pass that check.
In your Build Configuration, add a /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0 or whatever version of Visual Studio is appropriate.
Let me know if this gets you anywhere or not. I'm really curious to hear if you are finding any errors or logs anywhere. Basically, in my experience using Web Deploy and MSBuild with TeamCity, if the machine that is building and deploying doesn't have the MSBuild installed with the Microsoft.WebApplication.targets file, it silently fails.

the application requires that assembly microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache first

I have a small windows forms application created in Visual Studio 2012 that uses ReportViewer version 11.0.0.0.
The application target framework is .NET 4.0 and its deployment method is ClickOnce
On my PC it installs but on client machines, intallation fails with error
the application requires that assembly microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache first.
On the client machines, i have installed
.NET 4.0
ReportViewer 2010
Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime CTP
SQLSYSCLRTYPES.msi
in the project application files settings, i have set microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel publish status to Include(Auto), in the references i have also set its Copy Local property to True.
what am i missing?
I have even followed the instructions here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251723.aspx
Here is (arguably) the best way to deal with this issue... without downloading or installing any extras. This worked with Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate)
Goto the main project within your solution(default/statup project)
Right Click and Click Properties / Select "Your Project">> Project>> Properties
Click on "Publish" Tab to see publishing options
Goto "Install Mode and Settings">> Click "Application Files" and Dialog opens
Go down and look for the items set with "Publish Status" > Prerequisite
You will find ReportViewer and Several Other Files set to Prerequisite
Change all the Publish Statuses to "Include" in the drop down
I know you only need the ReportViewer Only but this will eliminate other potential problems I came across
Now all the required files will be added to your installation setup good to go!
For interest, you can change include a desktop icon under "Install Mode and Settings">>Options>Mainfests>Create Desktop Short Cut
you are missing the ProcessingObjectModel.dll file find the version 11.0.0.0 in gac assembly C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel and add it to bin dir.
We had the same issue, but the thing is, its automatically adding it to the references (microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel), if u EXCLUDE it from the publishing properties(properties->publish->application files), It might fix it.
A better option would be to install the Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6610
Your users will need to have this package installed as well. If you just copy and paste a MS DLL, you'll have to redeploy it every time you upgrade your application.
If you are using WinForms, to me it seems pointless to worry about installing this DLL in the GAC when it's being used for a report viewer that is deployed via click-once. This isn't a big file and you're probably using it as a report viewer control on a form, nothing more. One possible solution is to do the following:
In Visual Studio, go to the reference in your project for the assembly Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModeland locate the file path to the folder for that assembly. Mine was version 12 and so my file path was C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel\12.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91
Copy the file path of the folder the assembly is in and remove the reference from your project (right click the reference and select "Remove").
Win + R to get a 'Run' prompt. Paste that folder path in there and execute to jump right into the folder of that DLL.
Find the DLL, it should be the only file in that folder, and copy it to your Visual Studio project folder. You shouldn't care about 100kb of extra space on your drive consumed, and I don't think this DLL is one you'll need to update.
Back in Visual Studio, right click References, Add Reference, and browse for that DLL in your project folder. After adding the reference, make sure that the Copy Local property is set to true.
Clean and rebuild, test the application on your local computer, than Deploy your ClickOnce again.
Now when users install your application with ClickOnce, the reference will not refer to the GAC at all and there won't be any need to rely on the prerequisite check/installation process for this DLL because you have included it directly in your published application.
It depends on the setup type you are using but basically, it means the required library is missing from your server or computer. To enable the application to download from the server (In a client-server architecture), you need to include the file(s) in the project.
Go to your application option and locate the "Publish" tab
Click on "Application files"
In the ensuing dialog, select to include all the libraries you want included (or that are required to run your application on the client machine and click "Ok")
Build your application and then publish to the server.
I hope this works for you, it worked for me in Visual Studio 2010 Professional
In case of Windows 10 it won't work installing Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 as describe by user1236560. First you need to install Prerequisites for SQL Server Management Objects (SQLSysClrTypes.msi) need to choose between x86 and x64 depending on your hardware. You could find it on: http://origin.www.ms.akadns.net/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=16BC778C-357B-46E9-8356-D575903AC831
After that you need to install MICROSOFT® REPORT VIEWER 2012 RUNTIME that you could find on: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35747
Both of this package will have to be installed.
I encountered this error
System Update Required
Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel Version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.
Please contact your system administrator.
this error popped out when installing an application made from Visual Studio
meaning I am one of the client
I have Visual Studio 2015 and a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and didn't know about Crystal Reports and other related stuff to it. I do check the version of my .NET Framework which is version 4.6.2.
I have several extension files and distributable files downloaded and yet doesn't solve my problem.
I do not know if I solve the problem generally but I do become successful in installing the application
so I downloaded and installed the ff:
SAP Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2015(latest, just to make sure)
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime.
the problem took me about 2 days to trouble shoot, Be careful on downloading and installing extension files and distributed files cause it will munch some space too.
The Best answer is:

It reduced all of my head aches.

How do I get SvcConfigEditor.exe onto a server?

Over a year ago I wrote a WCF service, which runs on a Windows 2003 Server, under the auspices of a Windows Service (which I also wrote). (I wrote it using VS 2008.) I've not had a chance to continue working with it for a long time, but would now like to pick up where I left off back then. However, now I'm trying to use VS 2010, and see if I can interact with it.
The first thing I did was run SvcUtil from the command line, to get the information I would need to put into my App.Config file. However, it gave me an error (#415) saying that the server had rejected the network request. I've been asking around as to how I can fix this problem, and was told that I should run SvcConfigEditor.exe on the server in order to get better logging information. So I RDP onto the server and tried running it. Only, it isn't installed on the server. The .NET Framework 2 and 3.5 are installed, but I wouldn't think it would matter if .NET 4 was installed on the server, if I'm trying to run SvcConfigEditor.exe from .NET 3.5.
Bottom line: how do I get SvcConfigEditor.exe onto the server?
It installs it with WindowsSDK for Windows Server.
If you don't see it available in Start > All Programs > Windows SDK > Tool > Service Configuation Editor OR can't find the file "SvcConfigEditor.exe" you haven't to added the feature.
To add...
Control Panel > Programs and Feature > (Right-click) Microsoft Windows SDK for Server > Change
Check on Developer Tools> Windows Development Tools > .NET Development Tools
After the install of the feature, you should see it now.
You can just copy your config from the server to you workstation and then run svcconfigeditor then copy it back to the server. Your config is just a text file so treat it as such.
Get it from your local development machine where Visual Studio is installed:
Microsoft Service Configuration Editor
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\SvcConfigEditor.exe
You might want to get the following tools as well:
Service Trace Viewer (Of you have WCF tracing enabled)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\SvcTraceViewer.exe
WCF Test Client
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\WcfTestClient.exe
