How do you deploy Asp.Net web api to IIS on Virtual Machine?

Question

I am running Windows 7 Prof on a VMWare Fusion 5 virtual machine hosted on Mac OSX Lion

Created a new ASP.Net MVC4 WebAPI project via File New project using VS2012 Express for Web
Hit F5 and the default web page displays in the browser
Created a new WebSite named MyApi on IIS listening on port 90 and bound it to C:\MyApi
Right clicked on the project in VS2012 and used the publish option selecting the website created above
When I navigate to http://localhost:90/ instead of the default web page (from step 1) I get a 403.14 directory listing forbidden error.
The new website is configured to run under MyApi App Pool that is configured to run as my logged in account.

What am I missing? How do I get MyAPI up and running.

I want to host it in IIS on Win 7 so I can call the webservice from an app running on my iPhone.

Any help highly appreciated
