Hi Michael and welcome to the community :-)

I must admit that I have not really seen this error before - are you positive that your webhost supports deployment using WebMatrix?

Is the only error message you see? If not please paste it all in here as it may give a better clue about what's going on.

Btw...any reason why you're using 4.6.2 instead of latest stable, which is 4.7.2?

Cheers,
Jan 

Thanks for your reply.

I have asked 123 reg if they are compatible with Web Matrix and await their reply.

I maybe using 4.7.2 but i am not sure, i installed Umbraco on Friday using WebMatrix and could not remember if it told me what version i was downloading? I had seen 4.6.2 commented in the code and took a guess that could be what version i was using. Is there a way to check what Umbraco version i am using?

If i cannot use webmatrix can you suggest a better upload process? My hosting uses Windows 2008 and is compatible with IIS7

The full error message that i receive is

Server Error in '/' Application.
