When launching iisexpress using iisexpress /path:D:\Foo /port:9000 how can I specify what file it uses as the template applicationhost.config file?

Currently it uses, C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\AppServer\applicationhost.config but I need to use a different one so that I can unlock/customize various sections.

I would prefer not to have to set each site up in ~/Documents/IISExpress/config/applicationhost.config.

    Currently there is no option to provide custom template applicationhost.config file.

    what is the issue in editing C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\AppServer\applicationhost.config itself and doing your customizations?

    If you don’t want to edit that file, then you can make a copy of applicationhost.config at desired location and edit site information (path and port information ) and finally use ‘/config’ command line switch as follows

    iisexpress /config:<full-path-to-custom-applicationhost.config>
