Where is the IIS Express install directory?

Locate the registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IISExpress\<Your version>

and parameter "InstallPath".

My directory is located here:

C:\Program Files\IIS Express

The user Data files are present here:

C:\Users\[username]\Documents\IISExpress

If that's the error. Then you might have got the error 404.13 (Forbidden) on your browser.

You can try to edit the web.config file and add this:

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

This would allow the server to read the files and process them. This is a server settings error. And I think this might help you out.

Update

As suggested by jamiebarrow, you can get to that directory directly using the following path in your Windows File Explorer,

%userprofile%\documents\IISExpress
