I’ve tried wrapping my

<system.web>

with

<location path="." InheritInChildApplications="false">

like this

<location path="." InheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.web>...</system.web>
</location>

But VS 2010 Web Developer Express keeps saying

The ‘InheritInChildApplications’ attribute is not allowed

When I run my web app there’s an error:

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

Config Error Unrecognized attribute ‘InheritInChildApplications’.

My configuration: ASP.NET 4.0 RTM, VS 2010, IIS 7.5

    Shouldn’t it be a lowercase ‘i’?

    <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">

    I have been using it successfully on the last 4 or 5 projects I have worked on. My spec is similar to yours. I’m still using .NET 4 RC. I also include the system.webServer settings within location.

    Good luck,
