After installing commerce server starter site and when I tried to open default.aspx file in browser, I got following error.

Configuration Error

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section ‘membership’

I found that the installation by default creates virtual directories and these virtual directories are using asp.net 1.1, I manually went to each directory and change the setting to use asp.net 2.0 (go to virtual directory properties, click on asp.net tab, select 2.0.xxxxx in asp.net version and click OK button). Do the same configuration changes to all virtual directories.
