Error installing DNN4 on Windows 8

My company supports a very old DNN4 site. I am attempting to get a local copy running on my Windows 8 computer so that I can test a set of changes requested by the client.

I have added the site to my Default web site in IIS, and have given the site it's own app pool:

When I try to browse to the site to actually install it, however, I get this error (which looks to be complaining about the handlers section of the web.config).

error

full error text

You really shouldn't setup the site under your USERS folder, I would recommend you do it outside of the Users folder in a folder that won't have restrictive permissions.
