Hi all,
I just updated to Rider 2017.1 RC and I can no longer run (or debug) one of my projects in the solution. I get this at the console:

and this in the Event Log:

Does anyone have the same issues?

Do you run your app into external console mode or not?
Please try this https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/21750.event-id-2269-iis-worker-process-availability.aspx
and let us know if it helps.
@Vadim Lomshakov - no, no external console
@Ivan Shakhov - forgot to mention that I've tried this before posting here, it didn't work
Note: This issue was fixed in RTM (171.4456.2169)
I've found that <repository with a project>/.idea/config/applicationhost.config file contains a little bit weird symbol:
As I noticed applicationhost.config is overwritten every project run and to fix it I had to make applicationhost.config file readonly and change "
 " (HTML Encoded Line Feed) to the desired port number:
I guess I will have to edit this file manually to add another run configuration in the future (and bind Rider's Run Configuration with IIS Express by project name)
Update 1:
I've found the issue. Select Project -> Right Click -> Properties -> Web -> SSL Port contained those symbols for some reason
I've defined port there and now it generates correct applicationhost.config file:
