Runtime failing now in IIS8: 'Module could not be found' or 500: Internal Server Error

[guardrex]

Following everything I did to get a new app running outlined in dotnet/aspnetcore#452 (which worked before), I can't get this one going.

bootstrapper-version: 1.0.0-beta5-11585
runtime-path: ..\approot\packages
dnx-version: 1.0.0-beta5-11584
dnx-clr: coreclr
dnx-app-base: ..\approot\packages\paccharter\1.0.0\root

This is the x64 runtime. I did a dnu publish --runtime active --no-source. I used WebDeploy to shoot the bits up to IIS 8 on a WS2012 Azure VM. There were no exceptions along the way.

With the AppPool setting Enable 32-Bit Applications set to True, I get a

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

With Enable 32-Bit Applications set to False, I get a flat out 500.0 IIS error with nothing in the event log.

It might be related to my issues with config.json described at dotnet/aspnetcore#474. I'll run a test tomorrow removing the config file from the project to see if that is the source of my issue ... unless anyone else has a tip.

Confirmed the issue is related to the path to a config file. See dotnet/aspnetcore#474
