MVC Forum alpha 1 not working on IIS 7+ ?

It seems MVC Forum has a bug when running on IIS 7+ in integrated mode! Of course the forum is meant to run on this configuration, so we're working on solving the issue, and MVC Forum alpha 2 will not be released before the bug is gone!

Calling it a bug might be a bit of an understatement, the forum will break the solution it's running on, as the error occurs during application initialization, so please don't try this, we'll fix it right away!

On to the good news, I've made a small SQL script that will help move data from the database of an alpha 1 site to the database of an alpha 2 site. You'll still have to do a bit of manual work, but it will copy all the relevant data to a fresh (empty) database. I'll probably put this script on Codeplex when I've tested it on another couple of test installations I have running.
