>Why are you even using VS? Every update you complain and complain.

Only a handful of people drink the Microsoft Kool-Aid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid

>>I never had to do anything with IIS Express nor have I ever seen it somewhere when working with a Web site or a Web service project in Visual Studio 2013. However, this morning, because of issues causes by some updates, I see that whenever I entered in such project that it created a directory d:\IISExpress. I am trying to get rid of that. By deleting the directory, it did not like it. When entering the project, it complains and the project is not workable. I went into the Registry and bounce back the IIS Express directory to a place where it would not cause any problem based on this page:

>>I am trying to understand why Visual Studio 2013, with this update, now need some IIS Express components. I really do not want to have that on my PC. I have IIS 7.5 and that should be enough. IAC, I am not even making reference to local Web sites as the projects are making references to external Web services. So, anyone can explain this and how to get rid of that?
