WRITEIIS7ConfigChanges : Failed get handlers section for DirProp

[wixbot]

I have an issue when trying to run an installer that was created with WIX v3.9 on windows 2012 with IIS8. I t errors out during WriteIIS7ConfigChanges. I have tried everything that was in the google but have a hard time to fix this.

Here is the Verbose log for the issue.
