I took a new fast laptop (m.2 SSD, 16GB ram, quad core i7 etc) and installed VS (community), latest episerver plugin etc.
I created an empty project, and, via the tutorial, added a page. I.e. I have folled this, and only this, to the letter (pasting as code as pasting as link causes a 500 from this forum)
https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/CMS/getting-started/creating-a-starter-project/What I see is that after a short random time, episerver dies, and the output in the debug console is:
The program '[14100] iisexpress.exe' has exited with code -1 (0xffffffff).
There are no errors of any sort.
Sometimes this happens before I can view any page, sometimes I can view my page, and even have time to edit it. i.e. it is dying for no apparent reason anywhere between 0s and 2 minutes after starting the server from within visual studio.
This i a new install of VS, I have never used it before, so will be including the latest episerver and dlls etc. The version of .net it says its using is 4.7. something.
I have the latest updated windows. There is very little CPU or memory usage.
Is this normal?
Interetingly when I tried the same thing previously ont he Mac using Virtual box, I observed exactly the same issue with the empty project. I assumed it was a mac/vm issue, so went and got a windows laptop instead. But I am seeing the same issue. Neither has had any episerver code or vidusal studio previously installed, nor IIS express. I think I installed IIS and the full version of MSSQL server, but I understand these are not being used (its using the xpress versions which come with VS code)
