I've installed an EPiServer 6 site locally and it is running fine in IIS, but when I open it as a solution in Visual Studio 2008 and run it via the built in development server, the site center dashboard page doesn't work, I get a 404 error.

I can't seem to get from an empty visual studio project to a deployed website without having to fix all kinds of file path and referencing issues.
