ASP.NET MVC Configuration Manager error

Question

The WSAT throws the following irrespective of the project or the connection type,

An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.

Even on a brand new ASP.NET MVC 2 website where user authentication and registration work through the default account controller without a quibble, the WSAT fails to run.

Things I've tried,

• Tried to open it in IE.
• Tried to use it with MySQL to setup user authorization, role and profile management. This was the goal which is starting to seem more and more like an uphill battle.
• Tried it with a brand new ASP.NET MVC 2 application.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Found it. Apparently the configuration manager will not work if the directory path to the solution contains invalid characters, in my case it was a space.

Should be documented somewhere, this was a good waste of four hours..
