Generally this happens when you have more than one Web.Config file in your application root folder.
Just check if you have more than one. If so, remove the duplicate copies.

Sometimes this is because you haven't configured the virtual directory to be an application

* Open IIS
* Expand {Machine Name} -> Web Sites
* Find the virtual directory for your application]
* Right mouse on virtual directory -> properties
* On the 'Virtual Directory' tab, make sure there is an entry for 'Application Name'
* On the 'Asp.Net' tab, make sure the version is correct for your application

For IIS 7 is propably that you need to convert the Directory to Application in case you already have a web.config in your folder.

Open IIS
Go to your website, expand
Properties in your directory
Convert to Application
Select an application pool check the version is correct according with your application.
