HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden (ASP.NET MVC 6, ASP.NET 5, IIS 7, Windows Server 2008)

I am hitting "HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden" after performing an XCopy deployment of an ASP.NET MVC 6 application against a Windows Server 2008 x64 running IIS 7 and trying to run the deployed web application.

I followed the steps at http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/getting-started/installing-on-windows.html#install-asp-net-standalone and http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/publishing/iis.html#xcopy-to-iis-server and I am using dnx-clr-win-x64.1.0.0-beta7.

I added a simple test default.aspx page and got an exception that seems to indicate that ASP.NET MVC 6 only runs under IIS 7.5 and later. In terms of system requirements that translates to Windows Server 2008 R2 and later, at least at the time of writing this:

Exception information: 
    Exception type: PlatformNotSupportedException 
    Exception message: IIS 7.5 or higher is required.

403.14 is the error code for not being allowed to list the contents of a directory.

Are you sure that you've set the destination directory up as an application in IIS? That seems like the most likely culprit. Other possibilities are that your application pool is using the wrong version of .NET (something other than what's on the server), or that you've missed a folder your application needs, like App_Data or something.
