Cannot edit and save C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64,\v4.0.30319\,Config\machine.config

I do not have write permissions for this folder.

An error occurred when I tried to run a VS app that has been running for 3 years.

How can I save the machine.config file after I have edited it?

Thanks,

This happened after I installed MySQL. Default.aspx call to Machine.config causes error. Hosted app runs well. I will uninstall MySQL.
