Cannot launch asp.net core web app in IIS Express

Question

[Edit] The problem is BitDefender anti virus. I followed the instructions on how to install asp.net 5 beta 8. I was able to install all the necessary files without any problem.

Answer 1

So I've finally found the cause of the problem.

I have BitDefender anti virus installed on the computer which for some strange reason it is causing this behavior. As mentioned in the original post I did try disabling it but that didn't work. I had to completely uninstall the software :(

Waste of time :(
