I had the same problem and the problem is related to the app pool definition which you can find in \users{your username}\mydocuments\IISexpress\config\applicationhost.config.

Find the tag 

<add name="Clr4IntegratedAppPool" managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0" managedPipelineMode="Integrated" CLRConfigFile="%IIS_USER_HOME%\config\aspnet.config" autoStart="true" />

and change the managedruntimeversion from "v4.0" to "v4.0.30319" for .net 4.5 

<add name="Clr4IntegratedAppPool" managedRuntimeVersion="v4.0.30319" managedPipelineMode="Integrated" CLRConfigFile="%IIS_USER_HOME%\config\aspnet.config" autoStart="true" />
