IISExpress.exe file location issues

[bnjmnmyers]

When I try to run start command I get a message saying that it can't find IIS Express in C:\Program Files. My copy is being run out of C:\Program Files (86x). How do I change where the extension is looking for IIS Express?

I too found it strange that this doesn't work, but it used to work...
Then I remember that I am now running the 64bit version of VS Code.

I see in the code that the environment variable ProgramFiles is used which points to the undesired folder when running VS Code 64bit.

You could install the 32bit version for VS Code

Just confirmed it my machine, the 32bit version of VS Code works.
I downloaded a zipped version of that one so I don't have to install it again.

But a configurable option would be nice.

Thanks for this. I have been on a long weekend and will look later tonight or tomorrow and see if I can get a fix out.

I may be back later for more questions and testing :)

@bnjmnmyers @schwarzie2478 Are either of you still having this problem that I need to investigate this or is it resolved and that I can close this issue?

Closing this issue as you can sepcify/override the location of IISExpress & AppCmd.exe via configuration with this PR #86
