Catch error caused by incorrect web.config

I am looking for a way to catch an error caused by an incorrect web.config file. It looks like void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs ev) is only called after validating the config file and is never reached.

Example error:

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.

This error happens when the application's App pool is set to framework 2.0 instead of 4.0

When this error happens I want to redirect to a specific page with screenshots to explain how to change the App pool.

Is it possible to catch this error in global.asax?
