editing the applicationhost.config file for WSUS on IIS 7.0

The instructions for IIS 7.0 show to edit the applicationhost.config file
with the removecustomerror tag. Every time I place the tag into the config
file is shuts down my IIS and it will not start again unless I take it out.
Below is the section of the applicationhost.config file I think it should go
in, but locks up IIS. Can you help me find the exact location? Thanks

As for "locks up IIS" -- do you have anything else running on this
Win2008/IIS7 server?
