encrypting web.config failed error

I know that ppl have already asked questions regarding encrypting web.config.

im also trying to encrypt my test config file, but im getting this error.

aspnet_re

Answer 1

I got an "illegal characters in path" error that went away when I removed the double quotes that surrounded my path name. Doesn't make any sense, but there you are.

I also wrote a PowerShell script to do the encrypt/decrypt without dealing with aspnet_regiis : https://github.com/mhenry1384/EncryptDecryptConfig
