HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error
File monitoring is enabled for a file which could not be found
Most likely causes:

IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.
IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.
The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.
The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.

hello nice video, my ask why installed in "c:\programs files" is there reason in to this folder

[ytguy]

why mine said either there are no servers in the server manager server pool, or there are no servers that support remote installation or removal of roles and feature. to add supported servers, use the add servers command on the manage menu of the server manager console
