IIS Express configuration file was not found

I updated to 10.1.5.1275.

Now I can't launch profiler from VS2015.

    Hi @rickTechstyle,

    What version of ANTS Performance Profiler did you update from?  Have you previously changed the user that the service runs as?

    If you've updated from v9 and previously changed the service to run as an admin (or other) user, the service will have been changed to "ANTS Performance Prifler 10 Service" and so will not be set to run as the elevated user.

    Looking at the logging you've provided it seems this may be the issue as it appears to be having a permissions issue  trying to access the configuration file.

    In either case - please change the "ANTS Performance Prifler 10 Service" service to run as an elevated user and restart the UI and see if it is then able to work correctly.

    Kind regards,
    Alex
