I have created a batch file to start the web server (IIS Express). The site is configured to run on port 48000.
When the site has started, I get the IIS icon in the system tray and it displays the site in the list of sites available. However, I would like the batch file to open the site in the browser as well.
I tried :: START iexplore http://localhost:48000, but this line isnt opening the site.
Any ideas?
(Please select 'Mark as Answer' if my response has helped you.)
I am on a 64bit machine. I tried on a 32bit Win 7 machine and the webserver isnt even starting up. How do I keep the batch file window open. I Have Echo On but the cmd window is closing at end of batch

OK- no errors reported by bat file BUT - i ran the commands from the cmd line and I am getting this error:
ApplicationDefaults already assigned.
This is an issue with the ApplicationHost.config file. Not sure what default is causing the issue
