HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden, localhost:12401

Question

I am trying to run the Office-OOXML-EmbedAddin solution. I have downloaded the repository and added the references according to the documentation. When I start the application using F5, the browser opens, but I receive the error shown below.

When executing the command suggested by the error page, I receive an error as well.

C:\Program Files\IIS>appcmd set config /section:system.webServer/directoryBrowse /enabled:true

'appcmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I also tried adding the following lines to the Web.config of the project, but it still did not work.

<system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
