Answer 1

Please verify in IIS that your website is indeed running ASP.NET v. 4.0. In IIS > Right click on WebSite > Properties > ASP.NET > Version > "Should read 4.0.21006" not 2.0

Answer 2

Have you checked the AppPool: is it set to .NET 4.0?

Answer 3

Make sure the framework associated with your project matches the framework specified in the App Pool settings. See MSDN for instructions for both IIS6 and IIS7.
