I have added my site to IIS 7 on my local machine. It has added fine but I can't get the permissions sorted on the folder. I get the following error when trying to browse the site:

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions

Does anyone know what user I should add for the site to have correct permissions? I have tried:

Network Service Local service IIS_WPG Administrator

and nothing works.

Thanks
