Cannot start ASP.NET Core RC2 web application in IISExpress
<p>I created a new "ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core)" project in VS2015. It built without any issues, so I thought to give it a test run. However, when starting up, it choked and crashed with the following error: </p>

<pre><code>Exception thrown: 'System.AggregateException' in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.dll
The program '[11608] dotnet.exe' has exited with code -1073741819 (0xc0000005) 'Access violation'.
The program '[15048] iisexpress.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
</code></pre>

<p>I don't see anything else logged. I tried debugging it, and all I found out was that it broke during the <code>WebHostBuilder.Run()</code> method in <code>Program</code> class. It is part of the framework, so I wasn't able to get much further.</p>

<p>Note that the program runs fine when running via <code>dotnet run</code> command. Only IISExpress does not work.</p>

<p>How should I go about debugging this issue? </p>

<p>The project.json file is below. (It was generated by Visual Studio, I did not change anything.)</p>

<p>Update: I created a new project for the Core RTM release, and this time it worked. </p>
