When I press the button for MySql Web Configuration in Visual Studio 2012 it immediately shows the following error.

This is in a basically blank web app MVC 4 - nothing added really and yet I can't get this thing to fire up - any ideas?

your problem is located in a file called "machine.config", there are 2 files.

1st:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ [version_no] \Config 

2nd:

 C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\ [version_no] \Config 
  • backup each file before making any changes

  • open each file with notepad

  • search document for the following sections

<membership> <profile> <roleManager> 

within these sections, remove everything after MySql.Web and stop before the closing end quote... it should like this when your down ---> MySql.Web"

  • same and repeat for the next machine.config file

  • close Visual Studio

  • reopen your project and try the website configuration tool.

not sure why this works. just know how to fix it.
