I am not sure if you have edited right configuration file. Try following steps

1. open %userprofile%\ducuments\iisexpress\config\applicationhost.config

2. By default bellow given entries are commented in the applicationhost.config file. uncomment these entries.

<add name="WebDAVModule" image="%IIS_BIN%\webdav.dll" />


<add name="WebDAVModule" />

<add name="WebDAV" path="*"
 verb="PROPFIND,PROPPATCH,MKCOL,PUT,COPY,DELETE,MOVE,LOCK,UNLOCK"
 modules="WebDAVModule" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="None"
 />
