It sounds like this application is running in a 3.5/2.0 framework application pool. The error is exactly what is happening. The targetFramework attribute wasn't introduced until 4.0. Try deleting it or set the application pool to a 4.x application pool.

simply remove targetframework

AFAIK, targetframework is used to target to another net version (multitargetting)

Such as you want run the application as net 4.0 in net 4.7

But some older net framework don't have this "targetframework" property, you can remove it

Or run the app using newer net framework
