Hello Coders,
I have a small web site prepared with ASP.Net 4 (ASP.Net & VB). If I run it from the IDE, It runs without a problem. When I try to deploy it on my local IIS Server 7, this is the message I receive:

XML

if you can see the last line "Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.4016; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.4016" and your application is on Framework 4. so probably you have not configured your IIS for Framework 4.

Yes, because your website is not deployed correctly, that is why you are getting this error.
Refer the links below:

Here[^] is a pdf which demonstrate the asp.net application deployment.

And here[^] is the description which you are getting.
