need your help with this one, i'm running azure deployment on my localhost and get the webpage without css and javascript, when i look in fiddler i see 500 status and the following error: "It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS" on each request for javascript or css file, i already enabled static content on windows feature and it didn't help, i'm using iis 7.5 on windows professional 64 bit with azure sdk 1.7, tried anything, and nothing helped, can't change the site to web application cause the website only exist on iis while i'm running debug, any idea what to do?

Could it be that the directory from which you're serving JS/CSS files contains a web.config file? If this is the case this will be causing the problem.
Your web.config contains an element which can only be defined in a real web application (in the root of your application for example- or in the machine.config. To fix this issue you'll need to open the machine.config (C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config) and look at each configSection defined here that is also included in your web.config (in the folder containing the JS/CSS files).
If the configSection in the machine.config contains the allowDefinition attribute with MachineToApplication as value this means you cannot use that configSection in a web.config that isn't located in a web application. Meaning in your case you'll need to remove that configSection from the web.config in the folder containing the JS/CSS files.
If you're using ASP.NET MVC this is probably your Content folder.
