    <p>I'd recommend checking the security permissions of the folder used as the site's root. The launch of the worker process is probably failing because it can't read <code>web.config</code> in this folder.</p> <p>If you're creating a new application in the IIS manager, by default it will create a new Application Pool with the same name. The problem is that this pool runs under a new identity named <code>IIS APPPOOL\<i>yourSiteName</i></code> (in the Application Pools page this is listed generically as <code>ApplicationPoolIdentity</code>).</p> <p>This identity does not exist until the pool is created, so the folder is not currently granting read access, and then the worker process fails since it has no access.</p> <p>If you wish to use this identity you can use the <code>Edit Permissions</code> item on the site's context menu and access the Security tab, edit the folder's <code>Security</code> item directly via Explorer, or use tools like <code>icacls.exe</code> from the command line (recommended for repeatability).</p> <p>You can also change the pool's identity to be <code>Network Service</code> or a specific user. I would strongly discourage the use of <code>Local System</code> as it grants too many permissions, and <code>Local Service</code> has other restrictions.</p> <p>NOTE: If you are going to add the <code>ApplicationPoolIdentity</code> in the Security dialog, the <code>IIS APPPOOL</code> accounts don't appear if you use the Advanced/Find options. You have to manually type the whole "<code>IIS APPPOOL\<i>yourSiteName</i></code>" string, then click the <code>Check Names</code> button to validate - if it is valid the dialog replaces your text with just <code>yourAppName</code>, underlined.</p>
