(Solved) Unable to access the IIS metabase error in Visual Studio project

Solution:

Navigate to the below path using command prompt.

On Windows 8 Pro:

%systemroot%\inetsrv\config

On Windows 7 and 8.1 and 10:

%systemroot%\System32\inetsrv\config (Where %systemroot% is usually C:\Windows)

You will be blocked access with a popup which says:

"You don't have access to this folder - Click continue to permanently get access to this folder"

Just click "Continue".

Reload your project again.
