If you right-click on a website in the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, then click Start, the website does not start and you receive the following error message:
The process cannot access the file because it is used by another process.

This problem occurs on a computer running Microsoft IIS 6.0. This problem also occurs on a computer that runs both Microsoft IIS 7.0 and Windows Vista.

Generally, this problem occurs when one or more of the following conditions are met:

Another process uses port 80 or port 443 on the computer running IIS. By default, the IIS uses port 80 as the default TCP port and port 443 for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
The ListenOnlyList registry subkey is not properly configured on the computer running IIS.

Executing the command with administrator privileges

cmd-as-admin

If you get this error when you try to execute a netsh command, it is likely that the error occurs because you do not have administrator rights. This is reported more often than usual when the user tries to execute a command that adds exclusions to the dynamic port range for native Windows applications or third-party applications.

Note that such an operation requires administrator rights. To ensure that the CMD window in which you are trying to perform the operation has administrator privileges, do the following:

  1. Press Windows + R to open a Run dialog box. Then type “cmd” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open a high prompt.
  2. When prompted by User Account Control (UAC), click Yes to assign administrator privileges.
  3. Run the command again at the high prompt and check that you are still receiving the same error message.
