Solution

To resolve the issue described above, follow these steps:

1. If you receive a HTTP Error 500.19 error message, do the following:

   1. Open the control panel's Windows Features dialog box, and add Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Application Development Features > ASP.NET 4.6 (If ASP.NET 4.6 is missing, select the latest available version).
   2. Click OK.
2. If you are using IIS 8 with Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, make sure to install the 'Web Server' role within the server manager.
