Debugging CMS5 in VS2008/Win7/IIS7.5 - ClassFactory not initialized
You have to change the web.config file to get EPiServer to run on an IIS7. I have wrote a note about this in my wiki http://epiwiki.se/troubleshooting/classfactory-not-initialized

I have configured web.config already, and the page is running without problems on both my local IIS7 and on the production server Win2008/IIS7. I get this error when I try to debug the site in Visual Studio (F5), so the error is only occuring in Cassini(?).

I usually change the properties of the project to debug in IIS instead, since Microsoft changed how IIS 7 is configured in web.config (compared to Cassini and IIS 6 which use the older model).

Thank you! Now it works!! :)
I changed the settings as shown here: http://learn.iis.net/Content_Cache/387/Properties-Web.png
and now debugging works as it used to

I have just upgraded my workstation to Win7/64-bit and I'm using VS2008 SP1. The thing is that I can not debug, or run, EPiServer-sites within VS2008. I get an error on the first page: ClassFactory not initialized. When I run it normally on http://localhost/ everything works fine. I can run end debug other ASP.NET websites, but even a clean installed demosite fails! (CMS 5.2.375.236/IIS7.5/Win7)

Does anyone else experience this behaviour? Or even better, know how to solve it?
