Nope, debug mode doesn't make a difference Stephen. Still get "This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS." for my local environment. Still works fine on the server.
The answer probably has to do with best practices in Visual Studio, when setting up a website where the root web.config and a subfolder's web.config have conflicting settings. It's not an issue when you have IIS, because you can designate both the root folder and subfolder as applications. But what do I do on my local computer (non-IIS) in Visual Studio to avoid the above error? Still waiting for someone knowledgeable about Solution/Project setup to chime in here...
