Vista - HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

I am running Vista Ultimate. I moved a block of ASP.NET web content from my
previous XP machine to a specific location on my Vista machine, and then in
IIS Manager I reset the path of the "default web site" to that location.
When I go to IE7 and try to navigate to that content via http://localhost ,
I get the error that I have pasted below.

Any recommendations?

Thanks, Bruce

Server Error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
Description: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related
configuration data for the page is invalid.

Error Code: 0x80070005
Notification: BeginRequest
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/
Physical Path: C:\Users\bruce.SCHECHTER\Documents\HomePage\Inetpub\wwwroot
Logon User: Not yet determined
Logon Method: Not yet determined
Handler: Not yet determined
Config Error: Cannot read configuration file
Config File:
\\?\C:\Users\bruce.SCHECHTER\Documents\HomePage\Inetpub\wwwroot\web.config
Config Source: -1:
0:

More Information... This error occurs when there is a problem reading the
configuration file for the Web server or Web application. In some cases, the
event logs may contain more information about what caused this error.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Server Version Information: Internet Information Services 7.0.

It seems this is an ongoing problem whenever I try to develop against
the actual localhost server. If you don't need to set windows
authentication or any specific config settings just run a regular file
based web project.

...otherwise I'm in the same boat as you, and would like to know how to
fix this problem. If I come up with anything I will post back here -
and probably on my blog.

Thx,

Hate to revive a REALLY old thread, but, any fix to this issue(having this exact problem)? Google isn't helping. I cannot run any asp.net apps on my vista box without this replicating error. Someones got a fix I hope...

Start a new thread.

Received this same issue after installing IIS 7 on Vista Home Premium.
To correct error I changed the following values located in the
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"
