Hi to all,
Yesterday, I found an ample set of instructions on the internet about how to install HAP on a vanilla server 2008 with >NET4 and IIS7.
Following these instructions, I successfully started the installation, but I faced an error when I reached step 28. The step was to double click on the IIS authentication, but unfortunately I got an error. The screenshot of the error is attached below:

It reads as:
Authentication.
There was an error while performing this operation.
Details:
Filename \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\HAP\web.config
Line number: 242
Error: The configuration section 'standardEndpoints' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration
I surfed through the internet and found a similar problem with the nested .NET 2.0 applications, but in my system, I have all my application tools configured to use version 4.
Can anyone please guide me what as to the problem might be? I have searched a lot, but found no solution. Let me tell you one thing that step 21 was not applicable in my case. So, I ran icacls c:\inetpub\wwwroot /grant "IIS APPPOOL\HAP"(OI)(CI)(RX) and added the permissions afterwards.
Does the problem has anything to do with my OS? I am using OS unix.
Waiting for your helpful suggestions.
Thanks and best wishes.

Hi,
You can use IIS 'application pools' to force specific sites to run in a specific .NET version. By using .NET 3.5, you can change the default application or if you want, you can create a specific application pool for WMS. A specific pool is needed to run multiple web site applications.
From IIS Manager, Right-click 'Application Pools' and choose 'Add Application Pool'
Give a name of the application pool and select .NET framework version: 2.0.50727 (=in fact Framework 3.5)
Then select the WMS web site and select 'Basic Setting'
Press Select in the 'Edit application' window and select the application pool from the drop-down list that you have just created now.
Click OK.
I think your problem is solved.
