   I encountered the same problem - one of these two responses may fix the problem.  Check to see if the problem persists on another machine.  I found that it only existed on my development machine.

  This happened to me using VS Web Dev Express.

  I was able to fix it by going into IIS, then the properties of the site, ASP.NET TAB.

  The ASP.NET Version was blank in the drop down for some reason. Once I selected I was able to resolve it.
