Answer 1

Figure out what account your application pool is running as. Then you need to give that account access to the entire %SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\config folder. It wasn't enough for me to give access to just %SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\config\redirection.config

Answer 2

in my case "run as administrator" solved the problem
