ASP.net IIS Error Message (Screenshot included)

Question

I'm creating a new ASP.net website via Visual Studio. I then try to run the default.aspx page it generates, and it throws this error:

alt text

I've tried deleting the affected lines as suggested by MSDN but to no avail! I am on Windows 7, with ASP.net installed

If I delete all the lines I get:

alt text

Any ideas?

Have you checked out britishdeveloper.co.uk/2010/04/… already? I see your application isnt setup this way but maybe you could try out the setting proposed and see if it helps? — Jagmag

Is the web.config in the website1 folder or in the wwwroot? Is there a web.config in the wwwroot? — Tim B James

You need to configure the virtual folder for you application in IIS.

Just dropping it as a folder under the default web site isn't enough.
