I had this problem every time I deployed a new website or updated an existing one using MSDeploy.

I was able to fix this by unloading the app domain using MSDeploy with the following syntax:

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:recycleApp -dest:recycleApp="Default Web Site/myAppName",recycleMode=UnloadAppDomain

You can also stop, start, or recycle the application pool - more details here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee522997%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

While Armaan's solution helped get me unstuck, it did not make the problem go away permanently.

For me  I was getting this error message when using PUT or DELETE to WebAPI   I also tried re-registering  NET Framework as suggested but to no avail   I was able to fix this by disabling WebDAV for my individual application pool  this stopped the  bad module  error when using PUT or DELETE   Disable WebDAV for Individual App Pool    Click the affected application pool Find WebDAV Authoring Tools in the list Click to open it Click Disable WebDAV in the top right    This link is where I found the instructions but it s not very clear

This is because IIS 7 uses http handlers from both  lt system web gt  lt httpHandlers gt  and  lt system webServer gt  lt handlers gt   if you need CloudConnectHandler in your application  you should add  lt httpHandlers gt  section with this handler to the  lt system web gt     lt httpHandlers gt       lt add verb     path  CloudConnect aspx  type  CloudConnectHandler    gt   lt  httpHandlers gt    and also add preCondition attribute to the handler in  lt system webServer gt     lt handlers gt     lt add name  CloudConnectHandler  verb     path  CloudConnect aspx  type  CloudConnectHandler  preCondition  integratedMode    gt   lt  handlers gt    Hope it helps

I discovered that the order of adding roles and features is important  On a fresh system I activate the role  application server  and there check explicitly  net  web server support and finally process activation service Then automatically a dialogue comes up that the role  Web server  needs to be added also

I ran into this error on a fresh build of Windows Server 2012 R2  IIS and  NET 4 5 had been installed  but the ASP NET Server Role  version 4 5 in my case  had not been added  Make sure that the version of ASP NET you need has been added installed like ASP NET 4 5 is in this screenshot
