Reset to default

That sounds like the config file has a bad entry. If you click around your sites and vdirs in IIS Manager you will probably get an error there too when you click on the bad folder. See if you can delete it and create it again.

If you can't, take a look at c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config and look for the bad vdir and manually clean up the config. Make sure to save a copy of the file before you start, or run appcmd add backup BeforeSabashTroubleshooting.

Had the same problem, error on default web site.

I open "applicationHost.config" file and remark config for Default IIS site was missing undet Sites -> Default Web Site

I've add this and it works now

<application path="/">
      <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="%SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot" />
</application>
