title: Error loading Visual Studio 2012 and 2015 projects
body: <p>I have been with VS2012 for a few years now. I developed my first asp.net/angularjs project under VS2012. 
  Secondly, I recently checked out a VS2013 project (written by a 3rd party) which ran just fine under 2012.</p>
  
  <p>Then it was suggested that I install VS2015 on my laptop. This is when things went wrong.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Problems</strong>:
  I attempted to load the new VS2013 project in VS2015, but it immediately failed to load. </p>
  
  <p><strong><em>VS2015 error:</em></strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>Creation of the virtual directory http://localhost:32999/ 
  failed with the error: Filename: redirection.config
  Error: Cannot read configuration file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I go back to <strong><em>VS2012</em></strong> and load my original asp.net/angular project, I get this error:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/usOM3.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/usOM3.png" alt="Error loading vs2012 project"></a></p>
  
  <p>So in the end, I can't load any projects at all ! Neither 2012 nor 2015.</p>
  
  <p>My local IIS websites are still running fine, by the way, but not the local dev environments.</p>
  
  <p>How can I fix these virtual directories ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,
  Bob</p>
