In vs2012 I used to use Steve Sanderson's mvcScaffolding Package with this package I could scaffold Action Methods with unit tests and controllers with repositories and dependency injection. My question is simple. Is there a way to do so in vs2013? When I install the package in vs2013 I get the following errors:

We are moving to a new system for Scaffolding, but for now, run VS as admin and use this -pre version we've updated:
Install-Package MvcScaffolding -Version 1.0.8-vs2013 -Pre
I'll blog this.
