I am not sure if this is permissions issue or not. Could you translate the error message "íP÷Pèö‚le”_/index.asp18". If it looks like permissions issue, probably you need to provide permission to current user (IIS Express runs as current logon user).

OK we've had this and this is how I've found a solution.. In our case I think it was linked to parent paths but could have been session state too...

Browse to C:\Documents and Settings\$your user name$\My Documents\IISExpress\config

Open applicationHost.config

Find the <system.webServer> section

Change the <asp> section to the following… By default it only had the cache and empty limits bits but feel free to adjust any parameters you don't want.

<asp 
     enableParentPaths="true" 
     bufferingOn="true" 
     errorsToNTLog="true" 
     appAllowDebugging="true" 
     appAllowClientDebug="true" 
     scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true">

     <session allowSessionState="true" />
     <cache diskTemplateCacheDirectory="%TEMP%\iisexpress\ASP Compiled Templates" />
     <limits />
</asp>

Save and restart iis express.
