Cant add new area in Visual Studio 2013 / ASP.NET MVC 5.1

Question

If I right click an MVC website project and choose Add->Area... then type in the area name and hit "Add". I get :

"There was an error running the selected code generator: 'Value does not fall within the expected range'"

All my colleagues also have the same issue.

Can anyone shed light on this?

I was stuck with the same issue and found a solution. It means your solution does not have web.config file.
