  Programatic install of managed module: "...missing a section declaration" Reply Contact I am trying to programtically install a managed module that I wrote into IIS 7.0 on a Windows 2008 Server 32-bit system.  I get the following error: Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80070490): Filename: \\?\C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config Error: The configuration section 'system.webserver/modules' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration. The code is as follows: ServerManager mgr = new ServerManager(); Microsoft.Web.Administration.Configuration config; Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection section; Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementCollection modules; Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElement tapModule; config = mgr.GetApplicationHostConfiguration();section = config.GetSection("system.webserver/modules"); modules = section.GetCollection(); It is the config.GetSection() call that is generating the exception.  What am I doing wrong here?  I have not touched the applicationHost.config file, so why would it be invalid?
