    Visual Studio 2012 and Umbraco 7

    I am trying to install a clean Umbraco installation from NuGet in Visual Studio 2012, but when I am trying to run the code I get this error

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 

    [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   Umbraco.Web.UmbracoModule.BeginRequest(HttpContextBase httpContext) +16
   Umbraco.Web.UmbracoModule.<Init>b__8(Object sender, EventArgs e) +253
   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +136
   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +69

    Steps on how I do

    1. New Project
    2. ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application
    3. Empty [Solution template]
    4. Open Package Manager Console
    5. Install nuget; PM> Install-Package UmbracoCms
    6. Build Solution
    7. Getting my error

    Note: I am installing version 7.1.1 and using Visual Studio 2012 Professional

    Hi Daniel

    Did you follow the nuget installation documentation here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/install-umbraco-with-nuget ?

    Otherwise please try and double check using this.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Hi Jan

    I followed all the steps on their website, but I am still getting the error. Tho I noticed when installing Umbraco as an application, I am getting this message in the console 'Global.asax' already exists and Web.config' already exists. Skipping...

    So I tried to delete all the config files and global.asax. But now I am getting a new error:

    The view '/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml

    I simply found out that the case it didn't work is because I needed to update Visual Studio 2012 for their new update, version 4.

    So if anyone is getting this kind of errors trying to install Umbraco 7 through Visual Studio 2012

    Error 1

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +69

    Error 2

    The view '/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml

    Solution

    Update Visual Studio 2012 to version 4 (the newest)

    1. Tools
    2. Extensions and updates
    3. Updates

    Simply update everything there.
