How to profile IIS Express process without administrator rights ?

• 
  Hello Sed,
  
  What profiling mode are you using please? That is the most probable origin and depending on what you need, may be a limiting factor. Because of how the Windows OS is designed, in order for one process to interfere with another, admin right often have to be granted to verify this behaviour is intentional as it goes against the default behaviour and or security settings.
  
  This is going to be true of most products that depend on hooking existing processes.
  You might be able to circumvent this by ANTS being the initiating process, but that would require you shutting down your IIS server, which is obviously less practical / desirable.

  I'm using "Attach to .Net 4 process". I'm starting IIS express without debugging using Visual Studio. Then I try to attach to the issexpress process.

  Hi Sed, 
  
  As a smoke test, are you able to confirm if running ANTS as an administrator does clear this error.
  
  Also, if you can confirm any port that your process is running on, I am aware that IIS Express does not require admin rights for ports above 1024. It does require admin rights for reserved ports & ports upto 1024
