Azure and the MVC2 Web Role template

Question

I tried creating a Cloud project in VS2010. When I try to add the ASP.NET MVC2 Web Role template and click okay then I get the following message appear in a dialog box.

The project template references by the roletemplatedata.xml file cannot be found

I tried a remove and reinstall of the 1.3 SDK but that didn't help. I tried a reinstall of the MVC2 tools but that didn't help. I wish VS2010 gave a bit more information. There are many roletemplatedata.xml files and it doesn't give me a clue as to what is missing.

Anyone else have a similar problem?

Answer 1

Go to Add/Remove Programs and add Visual Web Developer feature (if it's not installed) to the VS Setup. If it is already installed then uninstall this feature once and reinstall again.
