Which Core version are you using? And what Hosting Model you are using? IN Of Process or Out of Process? You can check thios in you csproj file. if you using In of Process, try to change it to

 <AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>

We've just encountered this with .net core 6.0.1. The issue turns out to be that our server had both the 64bit and 32bit versions of ASP.NET Core 6.0.1 Shared Framework installed. We removed the 32bit version, rebooted the server, sent a stern email to our server team and all worked fine ;-)

I can fix this issue I change program.cs and add webbulder.useiis() in creatHostBuilder

 public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
                {
                    webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
                    webBuilder.UseIis();
                });
    }

This error message also comes when you try to install the published package to the ISP-hosted shared IIS server or an ISP-hosted Virtual Machine.

  • Deployment mode: Framework-Dependent
  • Target Runtime: Win-x64 or Portable

In my case, when I tried to deploy ASP.NET Core 5 application, it occurred due to not setting the change (read/write/delete) permission to the web application folder for the user group, basically the root folder.

Also this error can show that your application has errors in config files (most common appsettings.json) so it can't be deserialized properly
