When I ran into this error, I spent hours trying to find a solution.

My issue was that when I went to save the file I had accidentally hit the key stroke "G" in the web.config. I had a straggler Character just sittings outside, so the web.config did not know how to interpret the improperly formatted data.

Hope this helps.
