IIS Url Rewrite Module results in "unable to start debugging on the web server"

Question

I just implemented the Rewrite 2.0 URL module for IIS 7 and it seems to cause the error "failed to start debugging on the web server" in Visual Studio 2010.

Besides commenting on the node in the web.config file, does anyone know if there could be a fix for VS2010?

thanks

See Kirk Wall's solution here: Unable to start debugging on a web server. Failed to start debugging ASP.NET VS 2010, II7, Win 7 x64

Just add this rule to the top of your rules.

<rule name="Ignore Default.aspx" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true"> <match url="^debugattach\.aspx" /> <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" /> <action type="None" /> </rule>
