[HttpException (0x80004005): Failed to Execute URL.]

Question

I am trying to execute my custom Http Handler for pdf request. For the same I have following configuration in my Asp.Net Application :

<authentication mode="Windows" />

<identity impersonate="true" />

Application Pool has set as Managed Pipeline mode to Classic mode and Identity to Network Service.

For Handler, I added Script Map in configuration file as :

<system.webServer>

<handlers>

<add name="PdfFileHandle" path="*.pdf" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="File" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" />

</handlers>

</system.webServer>

I ran my application and i am getting this error. Please help to fix this issue.

 Error says:
