cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express"
start iisexpress /config:"path to your project source code repository\.vs\config\applicationhost.config" /site:WebSiteName

In applicationhost.config make changes as below:

  <sites>
            <site name="WebSite1" id="1" serverAutoStart="true">

• Update physicalPath to correct path:

physicalPath="VirtualDirectory of WebSite" /> 

• or copy all the bin(assembly) files as seen below:
  bin=> has all dll's of the web service
  Web.config should detail the hosting details of all services.

Other Windows services can be started as below:

1. Create a shortcut to the windows service with command line arguments if any.
2. In batch file add this line:
