This is a problem in Internet Information Services or IIS. The clue is the path - C:\inetpub\

 

As to what the issue is, I'm not 100% sure, but you could repair .NET if your website uses this.

The error message is telling you where to look, line 94 of the web.config file seems to be wrong, if you can post that line, or better yet the section it's in we can help
