Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 can't connect to IIS Express 7.5 on Windows 7 Virtual Machine Using Parallels 6.0

Here is what I am using:
MacBook Pro - Version 10.7.5 with 128 GB SSD
Parallels 6.0
Windows 7 Home Premium
Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
IIS Express 7.5 download that changed it to IIS Express 8.0
I also have WebMatrix but I am not planning on using it.
I am a novice when it comes to development and these technologies so I am sure that has some impact on my issues. 
I have spent a lot of time looking between the various forums to find a solution and they all seem to offer parts but not an entire and workable solution to solve the two errors that I receive when starting a new project and/or web site:
1-
Configuring IIS Express Failed with the following error:
Filename: redirection.config
Error: Cannot read configuration file
2-
Unspecified Error Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL))
Based on the research I believe it has something to do where the IIS Express files are located on the Mac side of the computer.  I have tried to map them back to the Windows machine but I still get the same errors.
I understand it should be looking in the documents folder on the C Driver for the user, which is Administrator.  I have tried to redirect, open the port, change the Firewall settings to no avail.  I believe it is something very simple
but I am not seeing it.  I did turn on the Windows Features for IIS and removed the read only check box for the IIS Folder.
I have looked at the binding and port settings but cannot figure out how to make changes there.  I think I need to remove local host and replace it with my computer name.  I did try this but it didn't work.  Here are the defaults:
Please let me know what you think and share a possible solution.  Remember that I am a novice and some things will go over my head so the more detail the better.
I am happy to not use IIS Express and just use IIS because the volume of development is low.  I am also open to using VS directly onto Azure and bypassing IIS if that is the best solution.  I say this because I saw some posts that state there isn't
a workaround. 
Thanks for taking the time to assist.

Hello jats1910,
Your problem may more related to IIS setting and configuration. But this forum is about Visual Studio Setup and Installation. If your Visual Studio installed without problem on your OS, then you may need to consult this issue on IIS forum.

    now.....plz tell me very fast

    Thanks for Bill's help.
    Hi vinayakkadam143,
    Like Bill's suggestion, firstly we have to make sure that we find the correct project template options.
    But if you still get this issue, one possible reason is that the project templates don't load correctly.
    Run the command line:
    devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
    Reference:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241279.aspx
    Or repair your VS, test it again.

  • TS1368 I can't connect to iStores through iTunes on my Windows Xp machine. Everything is updated and I am getting message: We could not complete you iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202). Any suggestions??

    I can't connect to iStores through iTunes on my Windows Xp machine. Everything is updated and I am getting message: We could not complete you iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202). Any suggestions??

    I have the same problem PLUS I get the "Genius is temporarily unable to show you related music..." whenever I select a song. This occurs even when I log in as Administrator. Updating to 8.0.1 did not fix either problem.
    I can access the iTunes Store and download music. Genius had no problems uploading my iTunes Library info, and it can create playlists for selected songs. I believe this rules out communications and authorization problems. I have a G4 Mac Mini, a G5 PowerPC, and an Intel iMac with the same problem, so it's unlikely to be a Mac hardware issue. A firewall problem was unlikely (since I can access the iTunes Store), but I tested this with the firewall off. Both problems still remained. Updating Genius, turning Genius off and then on again, reinstalling iTunes 8, updating to 10.5.5, etc. did not work.
    The only unusual factor is that I have HughesNet satellite 'broadband.' I cannot see how that would matter, but perhaps the individual song iTunes Store and Genius features don't get along with something in my HughesNet 'modem.' Any ideas from other users?

  • Can't install my printer on Windows virtual machine using  Leopard OS

    Have just installed Leopard and Parrallels software. I cannot install my HP C3180 printer on the virtual windows machine. USB plug and unplug are not recognized and suspect it is because the printer is in use on the Mac OS side. How can I get the same printer to be connected and usable in both MAC and Windows virtual machines?

    I had exactly the same issue as you when I wanted to print from my iMac to a printer that was attached to a Windows 7 machine.
    I found the solution at an Apple Support page, located at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049".
    What really solved my problem was the introduction of the user PASSWORD in the address line, like this:
    smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
    Read the Apple Support page I mentioned carefully to better understand what you will be doing.
    I hope this helps you.

  • I cannot connect to my basic SQL server from Visual Studio Ultimate 2013? Error 40 - Cannot establish connection

    I just started learning ASP.NET through a book, and it asks to connect to "your" SQL server and explore a .mdf file. I've been trying to install SQL, but I only just now got a working installation, and even then it won't let me install the Management
    Software. Whenever I try to connect, I get this error: http://puu.sh/7F2JY.png
    This is exactly what I do to connect:
    1) Open project
    2) Navigate to the Server Explorer
    3) Click on connect to database
    4) In this menu, I can see me Machine name on the top part, which I think means that it's picking up my server runningh
    5) On the bottom, it wants me to enter a database name. I think this may be my problem, as I have no idea what to do here.
    Also, when I double click on the database file, I get this errpr (52): http://puu.sh/7F2Yw.png
    I really don't know what to do here, so post any tips down below

    Hi,
    Did you choose the correct Server name? It should be the machine name where you installed SQL Server on.
    Is it empty when you open select or enter database name drop box in the Add connect dialog box in the Visual Studio 2013?
    “Update: I re-installed, and then used both installers. Now I have the Server Management tools, but I still cannot connect.”
    The screenshots indicates that the SQL Server is not accessible.
    Do you mean that you are not able to connect SQL Server by using SQL Server Management Studio?
    If so, make sure that SQL Server Services is started.
    Please check out the following articles for details:

  • Can't update Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 trial from 30 days to 90 days?

    Hi,

    But although the message says "license downloaded successfully", the license stays at 30 days.

  • Cannot install Visual Studio Community 2013 - Error message "Visal Studio 2013 Ultimate is installed..."

    Hello,
    I am trying to install Visual Studio Community 2013 in my machine but when I start the setup process I get the followingerror message:
    Setup Blocked
    Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 is currently installed on this machine. Please uninstall Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 and retry.
    The problem is that I used to have VS Ultimate 2013 (Preview Edition, I think) installed on my machine but I've uninstalled it some time ago. It looks like something was left over in process.
    What I've tried to do was to install VS Ultimate 2013 again, perform a repair operation and then uninstall it again. This uninstall process is reported to be successful. However, it did not solve my problem: VS Community 2013 installation still fails.
    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
    Thank you,
    João Pedro

    "I used to have VS Ultimate 2013 (Preview Edition, I think) installed "
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this sort of situation is exactly why potential users of pre-release software are warned NOT to install test software on production systems. While a new software version is in development, one of the LAST things to
    be finalized is the uninstaller. So, uninstalling a test edition often leaves behind unwanted artifacts.
    In your situation, I'd do a clean install of my OS, then install VS.

  • Help, I can't sign in to Visual Studio Community 2013 "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."

    Hi, can anyone help me further diagnose?
    On Windows 7 64-bit, whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then  "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
    I installed the 2013 update 4 just recently (3/23)
    I was getting this error back in February

    Hi HuggyPaul,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    >>whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then  "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
    Based on your issue, I suggest you could try to use an another microsoft live-in user account to sign in the Visual Studio Community 2013 to check if you can sign in the VS2013 Community with update 4.
    Or you could try to use same user account to sing same version of VS2013 Communty with Update 4 on other machien and the check if you can sign in this VS 2013 Community with update 4.
    (1)If you could sign in the VS2013 Community update4 by the another user account on your machien, I think that the issue maybe related to your user account.
    (2)If you still could not sign in VS 2013 Community update 4, maybe you will need to repair or re-install this VS2013 Community with update 4.
    In addition, please tell me what browser you use on your machine.
    If your machien just insatall other browser such as chrome, please try to install the IE and then check this issue again.
    From this error message, i find a similar thread about your issue, maybe it can help you.

  • Can't install Visual Studio Professional 2013

    Just got a new PC with a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I went to Dreamspark to download VS for my uni work, I got for Visual Studio Professional 2013 Update 4 web installer.

    I recommend you can install the VS by ISO installer.
    •Choose this download link, and then choose the Save button.
    •After downloading the ISO file, you should use the
    File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to calculate and verify that the SHA-1 value for this file matches the value listed on the
    Visual Studio 2013 ISO Files SHA-1 Values page.
    And after down load you should follow up these

  • Connectiong Visual Studio 2010/2013 to SQL Database and Running VS Windows Form App in the Windows Azure Cloud

    Hi, good day
    Im going to have a little presentation before I finished my OJT and the topic that was given to is cloud computing. One of the task I need to do is to set up an application where in it can run and access real time on the "cloud". Now my prob is
    I already have windows azure account, made my database, BUT don't know how to connect it to my Visual Studio 2010/2013 (which is more preferable?), and if I ever connect it when my Windows Form is made can it run on the cloud also, how? Please help. Thank
    you so much.
    PS: I will be discussing this with people who doesn't know much about computing can you send me tips what to discuss? Double Thank You. :)

    Thank you for the help.. Another thing can I run my Windows Form App also on the cloud? Like if I present is it possible that the application that I will be doing can be uploaded and accessed on the cloud by the audience and can be used by many at the
    same time? Can you tell me how? Or give me a source how to do it? I downloaded the azure tools but I don't how to use it. I checked and tried activating and fixing my IIS and enabling support for ASP but still nothing, when I try to do cloudservice it says
    "get azure tools" even though I already have it installed in my laptop, and when I try to right click and upload the project to azure I don't see the usual option 'Upload to Microsoft Azure'. My app is a simple phonebook app with add, edit, delete and search
    function. Thanks again..

  • Please wait while windows configures microsoft visual studio professional 2013

    After installing visual community 2013 and rebooting visual studio works fine but all other microsoft office programs display "please wait while windows configures microsoft visual studio professional 2013" and continues the installation for
    about 1 minute before the program starts. I tried deleting mso.dll and reinstalling but it is still the same. Any help would be appreciated?

    Hi iwallhead,
    Then can your VS work fine? Anyway, please upload the installation log.
    Use a tool named collect.exe to collect the log file. Download
    collect.exeand
    run it directly. The utility creates a compressed cabinet of all the VS and .NET logs to
    %TEMP%\vslogs.cab. Please upload the
    vslogs.cab file on onedrive.
    I will help check if any install error exists.

  • AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF fails with MS Visual Studio Pro 2013

    Hello.
    I'm using MS Visual Studio Professional 2013 (Version 12.0.30501.00 Update 2) and MS .NET Framework Version 4.5.50938. I also have installed in my system (Windows 7 Home Premium - Service Pack 1) the Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.07.
    Before 3 months I have created a Windows Form Application with VS2013 and I've used the ActiveX tool "AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF". Everything was working normally.
    I left this app for some time because of other obligations.
    Now I've started using again my application and I get an error from VS2013 regarding the ActiveX control of AdobePDF in my app. The error I get is "Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component". I have re-installed three times Adobe Reader XI and I still get the same error.
    Why VS cannot detect the COM component of Adobe reader?
    I have the respective reference (Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser Control Type Library 1.0) added to my project and the tool (Adobe PDF Reader @C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF.dll) added to my toolbox and when i try to add the tool again to my form I get the following error: "Failed to create component 'AxHost'. The error message follows: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): A wrapper assembly is not registered for this type library....". This is just a part of the error.
    AcroPDF.dll was last modified on 08/05/2014. So i suppose its a new version.
    Can you please give me a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    It's probably related to this KB that got posted after 11.0.07 shipped.
    PDF applications built with VB6 don't work with Acrobat 11.0.07
    Note the designation of the CPU building and the web application piece about calling the ActiveX control directly.
