After some R&D, I found following steps to fix this:
First, I have to install Windows Feature as below

Control Panel >> Turn on/Off Windows Feature >> Internet Information Services ?? Web Management Tool >> IIS6 Management Compatibility >> IIS Metabase and Configuration.

And later set Visual Studio run as administrator.
