For those encountering this with Visual-Studio 2012 or 2013 and/or Windows 8 or 10 do the following.

You have to add .Net 3.5 (or 4.5) to your Turn Windows Features on or off window. You get to it via:

Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features on or off

Click the Asp.Net 3.5 and the Asp.Net 4.5 check box in the IIS > WWW Service > Application Development Features folder.
