I'm almost certain I'm doing something incredibly stupid here, but I just can't get the web installer to run.
I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Express, created a new Empty MVC 4 Web Application and used NuGet to install Umbraco 6.1.6.
I've changed the default rendering engine to Mvc in the umbracoSettings file but when I build and run the application, I get this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Unfortunately I'm too dumb to figure out what exactly is wrong!
Sorry if this issue has been posted before, I had a look around but couldn't see anything, and no amount of googling has helped me (which is what leads me to believe I'm doing something incredibly stupid).
I know this is many months later, but for anyone else who gets this error, it was caused for me by not including config/umbracoSettings.config in the installation package when I tried to install to a new server. The reason it wasn't include in the build, was I didn't wish to overwrite any existing umbracoSetting.config that might have been on the server due to it running as a farm, and so each umbracoSetting.config was unique.

Hi guys,

I'd appreciate any help!
Looks like you have some cookie from another localhost site that is unable to be read. Try clearing your cookies for localhost, should help.
Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't seem to help.
Would posting my umbracoSettings or web.config help at all?
