My daily Microsoft frustration - VII

Problem: IIS Manager can't open any site. A dialog appears saying
"Filename:
\\?\c:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Line number: 1
Error: Configuration file is not well-formed XML"

Platform: Windows Server 2008 R2 (RC) 64 bits
Context: the problem came out of the blue

Solution: I copied over C:\inetpub\history\CFGHISTORY_XXXX\applicationHost.config to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.
