I ran into that same problem; although it did actually create the hapconfig.xml file in the App_Data folder. It was an indicator of another problem, though. The fix was to open regedt32, and go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Security Right click the "Security" key and choose "Permissions" Add the "IIS AppPool\HAP" user (replace "HAP" with whatever you called your HAP app pool) and give it "Read" permission.

Thanks Nick! I had found other forum posts which indicated that the "NETWORK SERVICE" user accounted for the IIS application pools. I didn't need to make any changes to the registry entries, or add permissions to the Application log; adding the "IIS AppPool\HAP" account with read permission to the "security" key in the registry fixed it.

I am trying to upgrade from HAP+ v8.4 to v8.7. I have an existing 8.4 that is working. I've tried both a migration (using the old hapconfig.xml file from the 8.4) as well as a clean install and end up with this error once the setup process is complete: Server Error in '/HAP' Application.

Nothing else runs on this box; it was set up specifically for testing out HAP+. AFAIK, it looks like there's a security violation, but the error here is actually only telling me that it can't tell me any more than that (thus, "unhandled" exception).
