IIS 7.0 or 7.5 gives error Error 500.19 Internal Server Error for all pages, with Error Code 0x8007000d

A slightly less obvious error encountered while using IIS on a specific site, where all pages give the following error:

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

Detailed Error Information
Module IIS Web Core
Notification Unknown
Handler Not yet determined
Error Code 0x8007000d

The solution isn'timmediately obvious, because no specific error is returned besides the above codes.

Cause: IIS does not have the URL Rewriting module installed, so thesection of the web.config will cause IIS to give HTTP Error 500.19 with error code 0x800700d for any page.

Simply resolve this, simply install the URL Rewriting module, which can be downloaded here

(this may require a restart of IIS or your machine) and will resolve the issue).
