Umbraco 7.2.8 configuration error after nuget installation in VS2015

I'm using VS2015 Community. I've created an empty ASP.NET project and installed Umbraco from NuGet package manager by following:

Install-Package UmbracoCms

During the installation I've selected to overwrite web.config and Global.asax files. I've successfully logged into Umbraco but made no changes. Then I tried to load the default home page and I got this configuration error.

enter image description here

I've been looking for solution and found out that you need to upgrade your project to MVC5 when using VS2015. So I did as it is described here: https://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2015/7/29/upgrading-your-umbraco-site-to-mvc5-and-webapi2

Sadly, I'm still getting the same config error. What might went wrong or how to fix it?

I tested this by installing Umbraco via Nuget in VS 2005. I’m using VS 2005, but I think the behavior would be the same for VS 2005 Community. First, I installed it in an empty project and left WebForms, MVC and Web API checkboxes unchecked while creating the new project. I built and ran the project and ran the umbraco installer. The front end loads fine.

I then tried again but this time leaving the MVC checkbox checked. I was able to run and install umbraco, but this time I got the same error you reported on the front end (root page). With this version, I see that there are 2 section groups with the name "system.web.webPages.razor” in views/web.config. I commented out the second one and I also commented out the second in group. After that, the front end seems to work. I had installed the Fanoe starter kit and the pages load fine.
