Sadly, I've been working on a Basic / Test install for 2 days now... I'm getting very disappointed... Not easy to install at all.
The documentation provided at https://www.aras.com/en/support/docum...
I just started over completely, got it so it looks like everything went well. Went berserk with giving rights to the inetpub folder to anyone and everyone that wanted it. Set all users rights to me, as I'm an admin on the machine.
I got it to budge, my tinkering with the applicationHost.config file, it was crashing on the <system.web> sections. By removing these it at least compiles
The Windows Process Activation Service encountered an error trying to read configuration data from file '\\?\C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config', line number '1161'. The error message is: 'The configuration section 'system.web' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration '. The data field contains the error number.
Now it gives me fun circle that never loads. How do I resolve this?

Wow did I do a lot of unnecessary stuff. Figured it out, it was that the instructions didn't accurately explain WHICH .net core link to install. I installed the SDK, not the 'hosting bundle', it HAS to be the hosting bundle
The hosting bundle might fix the problem, but not the root cause -> Aras´ strategy to spend more money on marketing than on their quality department. Glad you were able to fix this one!
Which Aras version did you use? I haven´t seen this error in 12SP3, but faced it in 12SP7.
