I want to be able to configure my applicationhost.config to include a FQDN for my site. I have a batch file to set this up as visual studio complains about it when it loads.

This article says that running

appcmd.exe set config -section:system.applicationHost/sites /+"[name='WebApplication1'].bindings.[protocol='http',bindingInformation='*:80:www.wingtiptoys.com']" /commit:apphost

should add the correct entry (im assuming to the gloabl apphost), however i get the following error when I run it:

ERROR ( message:Cannot find requested collection element. )

This is not a super helpful error message.

How can I setup a FQDN url for IIS Express from the commandline?

You have to use the appcmd under IIS Express installation folder. – Lex Li Jul 01 '16 at 10:22
@lexli Im using it in %programfiles%\iis express like it says in the article. Is that what you mean? – undefined Jul 01 '16 at 10:24
Which version of IIS Express then? And what full path is the config file you want to change? – Lex Li Jul 01 '16 at 15:52
