What I see, when I close the app, is that there was an error during run-time which, for whatever reason, didn't get reported during run-time (as we do have a pretty standard error handli...

I'm getting headaches from trying to host MVC 2 on XP's IIS! (This is on VS 2008, but probably applies to VS 2010 as well.) After much struggling I eventually found a way to display my MVC 2 site from IIS 5.1, but the problem is that there is no styling! Any ideas on how I should fix this? The problem is probably the path location. Fol...
