Hi,

I tested this behavior in the latest version of the VS extension. I created a new project, selected EPiServer, Empty site (selected MVC) and was able to compile and go to http://localhost/episerver. 

Did you select MVC or Webforms when you created the empty site?

I get your URL: http://localhost/Util/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fepiserver Not able to reproduce your problem, however. I would make sure that your development environment has the necessary requirements: http://world.episerver.com/documentation/items/system-requirements/system-requirements---episerver/

I did same what you have written, selected MVC and my system requirement is same as you send in link - still i am getting this issue.

SQL server - 2014

Visual studio 2013

OS - windows 8

Browser - chrome

IIS 8

DOt Net framework 4.5

What more information do you need from me? pls suggest 

I can't reproduce this myself, but since you're selecting an MVC-based solution, do you have at least MVC 4/5 installed in your environment?

I am also experiencing the same problem. The blank template uses DefaultProfileProvider which is configured in Web.config as MultiplexingMembershipProvider, combination of WindowsMembershipProvider and SQLMembershipProvider. I am not part of local admin group of my Windows laptop. There is an Avecto DefendPoint software which is elevating the privilege if solution is placed inside Development_Avecto folder in C:/ or D:/ drive. The Alloy template is working absolutely fine because it uses ASPNET Identity as a connection provider. Is there any way to make blank Episerver template working without having admin access onto laptop ?

Following is the default generated Web.Config provider section for your reference -
