Website not working in azure locally
EDIT: Running Visual Studio as Administrator fixes the issue below, but can anyone explain why I need to Run as Administrator to run the website in the Azure Emulator?
We are in the process of migrating our site to Windows Azure, I created a cloud service and added the site as a web role, and when I try to start the cloud services project in debug, it won't start and in the output:
The program '[12396] WaIISHost.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
And in the bottom left corner it says "Operation canceled". I don't seem to see any reason why this is happening, if I create an empty asp.net mvc website, it works fine, so there must be something in our application that makes it bomb like this, does anyone know how to track this issue?
I only get a second to see the output of the emulator, but it says:
[fabric] Role Instance: deployment24(29).xxx.Web.0
[fabric] Role state Busy
[fabric] Role state Unhealthy
[fabric] Role state Stopped
I found the following entries in the waHostBootstrapper.log file

The emulator needs administrator privileges to perform several of its tasks. It must control IIS, it must (often) open ports below 1024, and it must have control privileges for worker processes. Since Visual Studio spawns and controls it, this means Visual Studio also needs these privileges.
There is now an Express Emulator option that mitigates this, but you are limited to one instance per role and must allow IIS to use a random high port. Instructions for using Express Emulator mode can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn339018.aspx .
