Error – Unable to access the IIS metabase

by

After installing Visual Studio 2012 and opening my solution I get a series of errors in this form:

The Web Application Project Foo is configured to use IIS.
Unable to access the IIS Metabase. You do not have sufficient privilege to access IIS web sites on your machine.

I get this for each of our web applications.

Things I have tried:

  1. Running Visual Studio as Administrator
  2. Running aspnet_regiis.exe -ga MyUserName
  3. Running aspnet_regiis.exe -i

These seem to be common solutions for this problem but I have not had any success with them.

Is there anything else I can try to do?
