Initializing the applicationhost.config file failed. Cannot find IIS Express

Question

I recently installed the Visual Studio 2017 RC and created AngularJS SPA application. I had to uninstall the VS 2017 RC as it was hanging multiple times. Now, Whenever I try to open this SPA application using VS 2015 I get this error. Any help to resolve this would be helpful. Thank you.

You need to modify the visual studio web services. The video shows how to modify VS. Modification depends on which type of template you are using that shows error. If its WCF, then you make web service updates during modification of VS.
