Directory browsing without using a web.config on IIS 7.5

I'm trying to set up directory browsing for a file share to which my IIS server (7.5 on Windows 2008) has read-only access. I have tried configuring directory browsing using the IIS Manager, and also by directly editing the \[code\]\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config\[/code\] file.Despite my best efforts each time I attempt to view my virtual directory in IE I am met with a \[code\]HTTP Error 500.19 (Cannot read configuration file)\[/code\] exception. It appears that IIS is attempting to locate a web.config file in the physical file share (which obviously doesn't exist).Given that my file share will only ever be read-only, is there any way to configure directory browsing on my virtual directory without the requirement for a web.config file in the physical directory?
