ASP.NET Core 3.0 project fails to run under IIS Express: HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure // ERROR: Unknown command '%LAUNCHER_ARGS%'

I migrated a project from asp.net core 2.2 to 3.0 following the migration guide.
After a couple issues were resolved, starting it with dotnet run worked fine.
However when I try to run/debug with IIS Express, I get the following error:
HTTP Error 500.30 - ANCM In-Process Start Failure
Common solutions to this issue:
The application failed to start
The application started but then stopped
The application started but threw an exception during startup
Troubleshooting steps:
Check the system event log for error messages
Enable logging the application process' stdout messages
Attach a debugger to the application process and inspect

The output window for "ASP.NET Core Web Server" in Visual Studio shows the follwing error:
ERROR: Unknown command '%LAUNCHER_ARGS%'
As does an error entry in the windows event viewer
<EventData>
<Data>Application '/LM/W3SVC/2/ROOT' with physical root 'C:\Path\To\Project\' has exited from Program.Main with exit code = '1'. First 30KB characters of captured stdout and stderr logs: ERROR: Unknown command '%LAUNCHER_ARGS%'</Data>

Immediately followed by:

My initial thought was that there was an issue with my system setup, but a fresh ASP.NET Core 3.0 project runs without issues in IIS Express. I compared the two applicationhost.config files of the projects and they're identical (except differences like the project name). I also can't find any meaningful differences in the other project files (Project.csproj, appsettings.json, launchSettings.json). I also tried deleting the .vs folder and .user files .
The error messages suggests that it's not a problem with my code. As does the fact that there's no exception the attached debugger breaks at and that everything seems to work fine using dotnet run. Yet a fresh project created via template runs without those issues.
I was able to identify the issue. One mistake I made was to attribute the ERROR: Unknown command message to ASP.NET, when it was actually our application that complained.
The %LAUNCHER_ARGS% parameter is still passed to the application, but it's no longer set in an in-process hosting context.

Internal failure occurred while running MSBuild

Using Azure Devops and my builds started failing with the below error.
I cant find anything online related to it.
It is also intermittent it seems like.
Bundler: Begin processing bundleconfig.json MSBUILD : error MSB1025:
An internal failure occurred while running MSBuild.
Microsoft.Build.Shared.InternalErrorException: MSB0001: Internal
MSBuild Error: ContextID 94 should have been in the ID-to-project file

TFS 2015 - Waiting for an agent to be requested

So after coming back from vacation my build server don't want to run any builds anymore. It's just stuck on Waiting for an available agent / Waiting for an agent to be requested and if I cancel it I feel it get's stuck on Build Cancelling... since nothing more is happening after I cancel the build. The waiting message is still there but the build is not in the build queue though.
All the agents are green in the Agent Pool and the background service is running.
I am getting the following error in the event log:
Detailed Message: There was an error during job agent execution. The operation will be retried. Similar errors in the next five minutes may not be logged.
Exception Message: A previous call to WebApiConfiguration.Initialize failed. See inner exception for details. (type WebApiInitializationPreviouslyFailedException)
And after 14 Inner Exceptions with the same message on the 15th Inner Exception it says:
Exception Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (type FileNotFoundException)
I have installed the standalone installer for MVC 4 from http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4 but that did not help. Also think it's wierd that it's suddenly missing this assembly. I have also tried reconfiguring the agent.
Finnaly got this working again \o/
What I think fixed it was installing the ASP.NET MVC Security Update MS14-059 from this site: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44533
It's still no System.Web.Mvc assembly reference in the %windir%\assembly folder but after innstalling the fix and restarting the server the job agent queued the job right away. And I had restarted the server multiple times before that so it was definitely not because of the restart.

I solved this problem by NOT putting in a DEFAULT target server URL when prompted. It is an optional field, so leave it blank, click next, and the installation completes without issue. You can add that link later once the application installs.
Try installing it as administrator. Right click on setup.exe file and click run as administrator.
