IIS 7.5
MySql 5.6
Drupal 7.37

I have created the database without incident. Am able to validate PHP is working with IIS. I go run install.php and receive the following from IIS

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

Module IIS Web Core
Notification Unknown
Handler Not yet determined
Error Code 0x8007000d
Config Error
Config File \\?\C:\ROOT\drupal\web.config
Requested URL http://localhost:81/
Physical Path
Logon Method Not yet determined
Logon Us

This tells me that the web.config bundled with Drupal is corrupted. I tested the XML and the integrity of the file is fine.

I have seen others write up the same problem and yet no clear or concise resolution. After a couple of days debugging it maybe it's time to look at Wordpress again. Any specific suggests would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

Two problems in my installation. First I need the IIS rewrite module

http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

Second, I had Drupal outside the root directory and need to modify the open_basedir parameter in the php.ini file to include the Drupal directory (/root/drupal) and IIS root directory (root/site_test).
