My web site compiles fine. Tihs was a VS 2003 working application that was
converted to VS 2005. When I try to publish to a directory I get a "Data at
the root level is invalid." error in the published version of web.config line
1. The contents does not reflect the real web.config. I am able to publish
other web sites.
Published version with error looks like:
vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl
vti_timelastmodified:TR|08 Aug 2004 19:02:17 -0000
vti_extenderversion:SR|4.0.2.8912
My version looks like (vanilla web.config):
<?xml version="1.0"?>

The <customErrors> section enables configuration

during the execution of a request. Specifically,
it enables developers to configure html error pages

<error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />

Any ideas? Thank in advance.
