Having system.web and system.webServer elements within a location element in web.config causes a problem when installing/updating elmah. #245

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Wrap the system.web and system.webServer elements in web.config in a 
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"></location>
2. Install or update elmah

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
View web.config and you will see new system.web and system.webServer elements 
causing an unwanted duplication.

Basically I wrapped my system.web and system.webServer with the location 
element to stop child applications in iis trying to inherit from the parent 
application.

. Elmah obviously doesn't check for this and re-adds these elements causing a 
duplication and error in the application once you attempt to run it.

Unfortunately that a limitation with NuGet as it doesn't cater for 
transformations.
However we will shortly be releasing a new package that wraps the handler in a 
<location> element as this is more secure.
