The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting

Question

I made a website using the asp.net 4.0. I have deployed it to my local IIS. Need to do profiler in Visual Studio 2010. When I click the run profiler button I get the error like below.

"The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting 'http://xxx/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd' returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."

What's getting wrong? I to solve this problem.

Answer 1

This issue can occur if the target site is using an external settings file.
