Why an ASP.NET MVC Configuration Error With Sub Folder as Web Application that cannot load Site Master Type

Question

Inside of my MVC application, I have a sub-folder named "Admin" that was "Converted to Web Application". In IIS, the Admin folder has also been setup as a web-application.

After publishing my full application, I get a Configuration Error when trying to open Default.aspx within the Admin folder.

EDIT

I made the suggested change and added:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
  <system.web>...</system.web>
</location>

I am now getting a new error:

Parser Error: Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'UI.Administration.Site'.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Master Language="C#" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="UI.Administration.Site" %>

Looks like an issue with web.config inheritance (parent project has a reference the child project doesn't). You can find a related question on SO here and here.
