Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. Could not start ASP.NET or ATL Server Debugging. Verify that the ASP.NET or ATL server is currently installed on the server.
To resolve this problem, remove the trailing backslash in the IIS metabase for the URL that is specified for the affected Web application. To do this, use one of the following methods.
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

Right-click the Web site for the URL that you want to change, and then click Properties.
5.
If the affected application is a virtual directory under the Web site, click the Directory tab, and then remove the trailing backslash from the path that is specified in the Local path text box.
If the affected application is in the root directory of the Web site, click the Home Directory tab, and then remove the trailing backslash from the path that is specified in the Local path text box.
Use the following code sample tp create a .vbs script:
Option Explicit
Dim objWebService, objWebSite
Dim objSite, objArgs, strServer
Dim WshNetwork
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
If objArgs.Length = 1 Then
strServer = objArgs(0)
ElseIf objArgs.Length = 0 Then
Set WshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
strServer = WshNetwork.ComputerName
Else
WScript.Echo "Usage: CScript ModifyVDir.vbs [servername]"
WScript.Quit
End If
WScript.Echo "Connecting to " & strServer
Set objWebService = GetObject("IIS://" & strServer & "/W3SVC")
For Each objWebSite in objWebService
Set objSite = GetObject(objWebSite.AdsPath)
If objSite.Class = "IIsWebServer" Then
WScript.Echo objSite.AdsPath
EnumVDir objSite, 1
End If
Next
WScript.Echo "Done processing."
Sub EnumVDir(objVDir, i)
Dim objSubVDir, objDir
Dim strNewPath
For Each objSubVDir in objVDir
If objSubVDir.Class = "IIsWebVirtualDir" Then
Set objDir = GetObject(objSubVDir.AdsPath)
If ((Right(objDir.Path, 1) = "\") and (Right(objDir.Path, 2) <> ":\")) Then
WScript.Echo Space(i*3) & objDir.AdsPath
WScript.Echo Space(i*3) & "Path = " & objDir.Path
strNewPath = Left(objDir.Path, Len(objDir.Path) - 1)
WScript.Echo Space(i*3) & "New Path = " & strNewPath
objDir.Put "Path", strNewPath
objDir.SetInfo
End If
EnumVDir objDir, i + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
