"It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.
This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. "
I created virtual directory and mapped to application.
Then am trying to build the application, am getting this error message.
"It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.
This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. "
I've had a similar error however, the ASP.NET application is not within the IIS folders, but within documents and settings'.
Could this be an issue?
I've also tried including the file within IIS, and, creating the application.
Any ideas?

Did you check to make sure the folder was configured as an application?
Most likely you have nested web.config files. Remove or rename the one in a folder below or above your app.

Can you describe this in more detail?
(ps. I don't want to change from Virtual Director to Application.)

The IIS MMC has an application configuration section where you can set the folder as an Application root in the IIS MMC.
