Retrieve IIS Express

I have Visual Studio 2017 installed on Windows 10 64 bit. It was all working fine but something has happened to IIS Express 10. Now if I try creating an ASP.NET web project it states Unspecified error (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004005 (E_FAIL)). IIS Express no longer appears to be in the list of programs but the folders are in the "Program Files" location. I tried downloading IIS Express but it is a x86 version and will not install.

How do I retrieve this please?

Found a version 8 of IIS Express called iisexpress_8_0_RTM_x64_en-US.msi which allowed me to install over and appears to run okay

Thanks to user Lex Li who alerted me to the fact that IIS 8 will not work with Visual Studio 2017 I investigated this again. The link Lex Li provided (https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=48264) had download options for 64 bit but I was unsure about these because they initially appear to be for machines running AMD processors but I found the additional links below that advises that AMD were the first to develop a 64 bit version and Microsoft simply uses this. I downloaded and installed the 64 bit and appears to work okay with VS2017 so far
