I’ve solved the same problem by installing the window features “Internet Information Service/World Wide Web Service/Application Development/ASP.NET x.x” in the Control Panel of Windows8.

I spotted it too late and it misses some steps. This is what worked for me: Windows Server 2012, IIS 8.5. Should work for other versions too. Go to server manager, click add … Read more
