You're going to have to provide more details on the error you're getting. Windows 7 has default settings in place that stops some standard IIS stuff from working by default - these settings just needed to be changed.

Some changes in your %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v____\config's files are required to allow application web.configs to enable HttpModules, etc - without knowing which your web app requires we can't point you in the right direction...

Ahmm,

The message is saying that your configuration file is corrupt in some way. However it also says that it can't actually access the config file. So I'd ignore the original message about corruption/lack of validity as this is most likely just the effect of not being able to read the file due to a lack of authorization.

The reason it cannot read the config file is because the process running your web app does not have permission to access the file/directory. So you need to give the process running your web app those permissions.

The access rights should be fairly straightforward, i.e. at least Read, and, depending on your app, maybe Write.

The file web.config should only be accessible through your application.

Option:
Perhaps the asp.net account does not appear in the IIS manager, if so, in windows 7 follow the steps:

- Open control panel
- Click on” program” link (not uninstall programs)
- Click” turn windows features on/off” link
- locate” Internet Information services IIS” in the pop up window and expand its node
- Expand the” World Wide Web Service” node
- Expand “Application Development Features” node
- check the check box of”ASP.NET”
- Then click ok button
