Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive
I just installed vs 2010, followed by IIS in window 7. when building a website in .net framework 4.0 and convert this into application in IIS then its shows this error
If i remove the targetFramework="4.0" from web config file then it shows me a second error which is related to linq reference error
This all happening when i am using localhost to run my website but whenever i use just f5 in vs 2010 then its run perfectly.
When i want to attach my process with aspnet_wp.exe i don't find this process in my list.
I searched a lot of answers here. What am I missing.
Solution 1:
The problem could be:
- the Application Pool for your site is configured for .NET Framework Version = v2.0.XXXXX
- .NET 4 isn't installed on your server.

Solution 2:
You'll likely need to re-register ASP.Net version 4 with IIS.
Navigate to your .net framework 4.0 folder, and run aspnet_regiis.exe -i
For example, my .net framework 4.0 folder (Server 2k8 R2 x64) was located at: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
