I have VWD Express 2010 installed and as a curiousity I installed WebMatrix. After discovering I didn't need it I uninstalled WebMatrix.
That caused some weird things to happen with my MVC 3 application. Seems that the built-in development server and IIS Express will not render the site, only show a directory listing. No errors are noted. I checked the IIS Express virtual directory settings
and it seems okay (has the correct physical location).
The goofy thing is acting like it's not recognizing the MVC 3 application. However, the exact same code-base works fine on the published server.
Anyone have some ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Are you sure installed WebMatrix correctly? To install the WebMatrix apps, you can use Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer, which this is a free application, and that makes it easy to install and configure web-related technologies, such as VWD Express
2010. Could you please try once to install WebMatrix?
