Where is the template for applicationHost.config file stored

Question

When I create a new Web application using VS2015, I get an applicationHost file created in the new .vs folder. This file contains configuration information for IIS Express.

Where is the template for this file located?

Answer 1

I see the files at 2 locations (32Bit and 64Bit Program Folder) in my Windows 10 + VS2015:

"C:\Program Files\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationhost.config"


"C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationhost.config"
