The command:
Scaffold Mailer.Razor UserMailer Welcome,PasswordReset

gives the error:

Invoke-Scaffolder : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'UserMailer'.
At line:1 char:1

Not sure what's up with it. May be uninstall/install the package? I think this is because some files are missing from the package in your installed files.

When I Install-Package MvcMailer on VS2013 Preview for MVC5 project it throws this error:

Exception calling "EnumerateFiles" with "3" argument(s): "The path is not of a legal form."
At C:...\MVCProject\packages\MvcMailer.4.5\tools\Install.ps1:8 char:8

Accidentally I installed MvcMailer for Class Library and it worked.

Some notes on this. I received the same error and after playing around I found that the same message is reported (and not at all helpfully) in VS2013 because the scaffolder is installer twice.
Thus I think a reasonable solution is to not install the scaffolder again with the VS2013 package.
In the meanwhile, does anyone know how to remove a scaffolder?
