The Configuration for physical path can not be opened

I am trying to encrypt my web.config file connectionstring details but getting error as

The configuration for physical path "Path Goes Here" can not be opened

Here is the command that is being executed in Visual Studio Command prompt.

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef “connectionStrings” “C:\Users\Shi\Documents\ProjFolder\StudentApp\StudentApp” -prov "StudentProvider"

P.S: I have given write permission on the path and folder to everyone. What is wrong in the command?

aspnet_regiis -pe "connectionStrings" -app "/SampleApplication" -prov "RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider"

If the application is already hosted on IIS, this is the way to do it. -site option can also be specified.

Make sure you have RSA key containers. Better idea is to implement it in the code so that encryption takes place when the app is called for the first time. There are many ways to do it in code.
