I want to use the SquishIt nuget package inside and MVC3 application that is running on Windows Azure. I’m using SquishIt for CSS and JS combination and minification.

In my Views/Shares/_Layout.cshtml I have the following lines:

@MvcHtmlString.Create(
    Bundle
    .Css()
    .Add("~/Content/templates/style.css")
    .Add("~/Content/market.css")
    .Add("~/Content/jquery-ui-theme/jquery-ui-1.8.17.custom.css")
    .ForceRelease()
    .Render("/Cache/combined-css_#.css"))

This results in an

"System.IO.IOException: Unable to open file"

I found something here http://www.bondigeek.com/blog/2011/03/22/all-is-quiet-not-on-the-azure-front/ but this is actually not what I want. In general it should be possible for SquishIt to write on the disk of the Azure VM, but probably the directory is wrong or the security rights are insufficient. Any idea?
