Try to set

<add key="enableSimpleMembership" value="false"/>
<add key="autoFormsAuthentication" value="false"/>

in your appSettings element.

I'm getting the same error. I did one MVC 3 site and it worked fine, but now I'm getting teh same error on a new site. Even copied the same web.config file - same thing. I attempted to use the new System.Web.Providers - no go. I will qualify this statement; if I do not use the ADD DEPLOYABLE DEPENDANCIES both options work fine. As soon as I do use that option (I'm on a shared hosting at godaddy), this error cropps up.

Error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
