Directory does not exist. Parameter name: directoryVirtualPath
asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-4, c#, iis
Solution
I had the same problem and found out that I had some bundles that pointed to non-exisiting files using {version} and * wildcards such as
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));
I removed all of those and the error went away.
Problem
