Configuring IIS - A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource.

If you are getting this error: "A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource" when you try to access your ASP.NET page after a fresh IIS installation,

Then, try to configure IIS by doing this this:

Go to RUN and type this:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

In some cases this also helps: In the IIS properties (by right clicking "Properties" of "Web Sites" under "IIS" in services), under the ASP.NET tab, the version of ASP.NET is not selected. Select one for your ASP.Net version.
