"Failed to map the path" on a brand new EPi5R2 site in VS2008 on W2K8
I've compared the web.config for virtualroles and providers with an install that works on XP and they seem the same. I've checked I've got .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed too.
I didn't want to attach the entire web.config as its huge...

Problem solved! Courtesy of EPiServer Support (with a wonderfully fast and concise response!)
You have to run Visual Studio 2008 as Administrator.
This is by design in R2.

Hi there,
I'm trying to create a new development project on Visual Studio 2008 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise.
I've done this several times before on other platforms, so I'm pretty sure I'm following the instructions in the SDK documentation's excellent "Getting Started" guide.
I get a directory listing as expected once the site is created, however if I go to any pages, or the root once Default.aspx is created I get the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException: Failed to map the path '/'.
[InvalidOperationException: Failed to map the path '/'.]

Does anyone know what might cause this?
