I'm getting the below error message when trying to load a website in VS 2013.
Unable to access the IIS metabase.You do not have sufficient privilege to access IIS websites on your machine.
I have Admin rights for my machine. I tried running VS 2013 as administrator and also tried changing the IIS configuration in the control panel and restarting the machine.
However, I am still getting same error message. What can I do to fix the above error?

We have a .net web application running on iis 8 using windows authentication.
Everything was working fine until we installed a new version of our application without any changes to the iis settings or in the apps web.config file.
The problem is that ever since when we try to open up the app in a browser and fill out the windows authentication popup with valid user user information, it just wont authenticate and after the third try we get a 401.1 error message. This happens when we try to access the website from any pc even the pc that hosts iis and even when we try to launch the site through iis.
Any ideas on what could cause such a thing?

The CGI application is a 32bit EXE. It calls the MSScript object to evaluate a JScript script. The JScript attempts to instantiate InternetExplorer.Application. The attempt fails consistently with an permissions error 70.
What is the reason for this and what must I do to get it working? If it really is a permissions error, which permissions need to be adjusted?
MORE DETAIL
This is from the Event Viewer (Local), System tab in Windows Logs:
The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
and APPID
{E4803A36-7232-4AC0-A6AF-29D59EBCC303}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\IUSR SID (S-1-5-17) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

A posting on Answers suggests changing the owner of IE from Trusted Installer to Administrator. Is this the answer for me?
In the past when I have seen this the issue was the Application Pool I was using was not correctly set to enable the 32-bit Application. Once this was modified, going to the advanced settings of the App Pool, it resolved my issue. I am not sure if the application you are running is dependent upon the App Pool but that is where I would start looking.
Access to the path 'C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\xxx\xxx\Areas\HostSettings\Views\Home\Index.cshtml' is denied.
I get the following error when I run a my ASP.NET MVC site on local IIS I am not sure why? I am the admin on the machine and am running VS as an administrator
If it is not IIS Express which is launched with Visual Studio Debugger, then it does not matter whether you are running VS as administrator or not. Because IIS does not run in current user context. IIS has its own user -

You should give access to that user (IIS_IUSRS/IUSR/IUSR_MachineName depending on your IIS version) to that path.
I have a simple web page I'm trying to publish with IIS 7.5 using the DefaultAppPool. I add the site using the IIS Services Manager and select the DefaultAppPool. When I access the page using "Browse Web site" I get a 503 Error "Service Unavailable". Re-visiting the application Pools I see that the DefaultAppPool has stopped. Looking at the Windows Event log I see the warning:
Windows cannot copy file \?\C:\Users\Default\ to location
\?\C:\Users\TEMP. This error may be caused by network problems or
insufficient security rights.
Troubleshooting this issue I discovered that if I change from ApplicationPoolIdentity to LocalSystem the page then displays correctly. I'd prefer to use the applicationPoolIdentity if possible.
Searching the internet hasn't yielded any definite answers but there was an interesting comment asking if Win7 64-bit was used. I set up a Win7 32-bit VM with IIS configured the same way as on my Win7 64-bit machine and the web site worked with ApplicationPoolIdentity. I'd prefer to deploy my app on 64-bit if possible.
So the question finally is: How do I get my IIS 7.5 web site to work with ApplicationPoolIdentity while using Win7 64-bit?
