I have been looking for a solution to this for a while but can not find one anywhere...
Background: I have two web applications; one is running Umbraco CMS, this is the root web app. The second is an MVC 4 application and is a Virtual Directory within the root app i.e. /rootapp/quote.
Each app has its own Web.config. Initially I had issues with config inheritance but I resolved this (nearly) by placing using the <location>
tag within the parent app config like so:
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.web>
....
</system.web>
</location>
This fixed the errors but generated a fresh one which I can't fix.. I understand it's because the parent Web.config has already defined Razor.
I have tried <remove name="system.web.webPages.razor"/>
within the sub app with no luck, any ideas how to block inheritance..?

Its the Nature of the beast. My question is whether or not you could modify your deployment so that the quote app was not inside of your root:
Then configure IIS to redirect any requests to /root to /root/cms
