How to fix Handler PageHandlerFactory-Integrated has a bad module ManagedPipelineHandler in its module list

Question

I am configuring an MVC 3 project to work on a local install of IIS and came across the following 500 error      Handler  PageHandlerFactory-Integrated  has a bad module    ManagedPipelineHandler  in its module list    It turns out that this is because ASP Net was not completely installed with IIS even though I checked that box in the  Add Feature  dialog   To fix this  I simply ran the following command at the command prompt   windir  Microsoft NET Framework64 v4 0 30319 aspnet regiis exe -i   If I had been on a 32 bit system  it would have looked like the following    windir  Microsoft NET Framework v4 0 21006 aspnet regiis exe -i   My question is  is there a way to install IIS on a windows 7 box to use  NET 4 0  MVC 3  without taking this extra step

It turns out that this is because ASP Net was not completely installed with IIS even though I checked that box in the  Add Feature  dialog  To fix this  I simply ran the following command at the command prompt   windir  Microsoft NET Framework64 v4 0 30319 aspnet regiis exe -i   If I had been on a 32 bit system  it would have looked like the following    windir  Microsoft NET Framework v4 0 21006 aspnet regiis exe -i   Remeber to run the command prompt as administrator  CTRL SHIFT ENTER

in some scenario this error occurs because the Microsoft  NET Framework 4 0 configuration for ASP  NET has been damaged  which can occur if Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 was installed before Visual Studio 2010 or Microsoft SQL Server 2008    After trying different things i reached the conclusion  repair you  Net installation by running following command  For more information follow the link   C  Windows Microsoft NET Framework64 v4 0 30319 SetupCache v4 5 51209 setup exe  repair  x86  x64  ia64  norestart   https   msdn microsoft com en-us library hh168535 v nav 80  aspx
