I gave my PC a new Windows installation and run into the following error:
Unable to start process C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe. The web server request failed with status code 500, Internal Server Error. The full response has been written to C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Local\Temp\HttpFailure.html.
It took my hours but the fix was very easy:
- I uninstalled IIS Express via Windows’ Programs and Features
- I re-installed IIS Express 10 with the Web Platform Installer.
Error gone.
