Check if you have a virtual path is mapped as the area name. I set area address in visual studio just to debug and it asked me to create a virtual path. So AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath was always ~/ and routing wasn't able to determine the area. For IIS express delete the virtual path for your site:

C:\Users\username\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

I spent 4 days to discover it.
