'HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid

I'm trying to publish a .NET 6 Blazor WebAssembly WASM locally to IIS

I'm using Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10

I have the .NET 6 hosting bundle installed

I'm using the default Blazor Web Assembly template installed with Visual Studio with no modifications

When I navigate to localhost I get the HTTP 509.1 Error, which indicates a malformed web.config

Here is my web.config:

If I comment out the rewrite section as follows:

IIS no longer throws an exception, however it sends me to the default IIS page

Any ideas how to fix this?
