Visual Studio 2008 asp.net web administration> profile: "The profile wasn't created"?

[Andy B]

When I ran the asp.net admin tool to setup web application settings, I get
the following notice when I went to profile and chose to use a single
provider for all features: "The provider wasn't created". To reproduce:

1. In Visual Studio 2008, create a new web application.
2. Add a web.config file if one doesn't already exist.
3. In the <ConnectionStri ngselement, add a valid working connection
string. Mine works but is left out for security reasons.
4. Add the following Membership element to the System.Web element:

<membership

defaultProvider ="EternityRecor dsContracts">

<providers>

<add name="EternityR ecordsContracts "

connectionStrin gName="Eternity RecordsContract ServerConnectio nString"

type="System.We b.Security.SqlM embershipProvid er, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b03f5f7f11d50a3 a"

enablePasswordR etrieval="false "

enablePasswordR eset="true"

requiresQuestio nAndAnswer="tru e"

applicationName ="/"

requiresUniqueE mail="true"

passwordFormat= "Hashed"

maxInvalidPassw ordAttempts="3"

minRequiredPass wordLength="6"

minRequiredNona lphanumericChar acters="1"

passwordAttempt Window="1"

passwordStrengt hRegularExpress ion="" />

</providers>

</membership>

Replace the defaultProvider and connectionStrin gName to fit your instances.

5. Run the asp.net web admin tool and go to provider. Choose to use a single
provider for all features and you end up with the message at the beginning
of this message.

Is there any way to fix this?
