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

Find the tag

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