For me the error turned up during Debugging on my local machine and turned out to be related to the base web. NET Framework when compiling the website. Fixing this fixed the See this: IIS Manager can't configure.
NET Compilation on. NET 4 Applications. Right click Web. A little background: Our server has been hacked using classical error where app user had more permissions that it should local admin.

I had the same issue and after doing all the stuff written here as answers, it still reproduced. The second half of the issue was the fact that. NET was turned off under "Turn Windows features on or off".
