It is included in VS, but does not work, then the reinstalled.. I solved the problem with it here:

I tried all the above solutions, but the below mentioned steps helped me at last. Please try out that if none of the above solutions worked for you.

• Go to Libraries\Documents folder
• Right click on the folder IISExpress and click Properties
• Go to Advanced options
• Under Compress or Encrypt attributes, please uncheck the checkbox 'Encrypt contents to secure data'
• Click Ok and apply.

Now try to create a project, hope you won't get the error again.
