How to remove internal server error phrase from status code 500 pages?

When an error 500 is generated by our application we would like to be in full control of the error page content. However IIS is adding a phrase at the top of the page, The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
Initially an IIS error page was being shown above our error page. In IIS Manager under Error Pages I have removed the page for Status Code 500. This removed the default IIS error page content but left the server error message above our error page.
- I have confirmed that the content isn't being added by the browser
- I confirmed it is not from our app. If I set the IIS error page settings to Detailed Errors the phrase doesn't appear
- We do not want Detailed Errors to be enabled for remote traffic just to fix this for error 500.
How can we disable this phrase?

To append to the answer you got... helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/developing-applications/… ... This may help if you want to customize a display for a given type of error, rather than just use IIS as a blanket to say something went wrong.

The message is appended by IIS. If you don't want IIS to break in on your error handling, switch to the custom error mode in your web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<!-- bypass IIS error handler -->
<httpErrors errorMode="Custom" existingResponse="PassThrough" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
More documentation about httpErrors can be found here.

Is there any way to accomplish this in the IIS manager interface?

At leasterrorModecan be modified through the GUI:Error Pages->Edit Feature Settings...(right side) ->Custom

the problem I have with this is that it is trying to pass through all errors and if there is no content from my app, for example in the case of a 404 on an static file, then no content is returned to the browser and the user gets a browser specific error page. I looked to see if there was a way to pass through just 500 error page content but doesn't appear that is supported. Only option I have seen that has the wanted outcome is making the 500.htm error page blank so that when it appears above our error content nothing gets added
