I access Visual Studio 2005 application to build my website from a remote system of the company that will host the website. I was building an asp.net website (website name is ThirdApp) following an example in a book. When I tried to run the application, following the exact steps in the book, I get the error below:
Server Error in '/TimeEnd Application. (TimeEnd is my folder on the remote system)
Configuration Error

Source File: X:\Websites\TimeEnd\ThirdApp\web.config
After getting this error, I am unable to launch Visual Studio 2005 any more. Each time I attempt to start Visual Studio 2005, I instead get the error I described above.
What is the problem?
