Windows 7 The configuration section cannot be used at this path.
By Perry
This happens when the section is lock. I have described the solution I have followed to resolved this issue.
This error happens when you don't have ASP.NET engines tarted. The easiest solution would be to run following command from command prompt.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v* aspnet_regiis -i
* whichever version of .NET you are using in your site.
The same error can be fixed on Vista Home Premium by changing applicationHost.config
file located in Windows\system32\inetsrv.
Change all of the following values located in section <configSections> -->
<sectionGroup name="system.webServer">
<section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
change this value from "Deny" to "Allow"
<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"
overrideModeDefault="Deny" /> change this value from "Deny"
to "Allow"
