VS 2013 - ASP.NET installation issues

When I replaced my laptop to a Surface Pro 3 I had to manually set up my development environment for all customers I work for. This is a one time installation that I am only doing every other year and so I have forgot all traps that one could fall into when doing a first time installation. 

Here is my "unexpected" problems that occurred and how I solved them

• One of the obvious problems was that I had trouble compiling my projects in Visual Studio 2013. The solution to this was to make a one time configuration so that Visual Studio is always run as administrator. 

In Windows 8, you have to right-click devenv.exe and select "Troubleshoot compatibility".

1. select "Troubleshoot program"
2. check "The program requires additional permissions"
3. click "Next", click "Test the program..."
4. wait for the program to launch
5. click "Next"
6. select "Yes, save these settings for this program"
7. click "Close"

• When trying to run my web application I got this error....

"configuring web for asp.net 4.0 failed. 

you must manually configure...."

This was solved by running the command prompt as administrator and executing the following:

Restarting visual studio and compiling solved the problem

• The third problem occurred with the following problem shown for my website:

The solution for this was to ensure that ASP.NET 4.5 was checked under Internet Information Services\World Wide Web Services\Application Development Features in Windows Features like below:
