Hi,

I've created a site basic definition that uses different master and default pages. Everything works quite well except for whenever I create a new site based on the definition I receive the following error when browsing to the new site:

[COMException (0x80004005): Cannot complete this action. Please try again.]
Please try again.]

I'm able to work around this by checking out the new master page and checking it back in again and after doing so there are no further issues at all.

Any ideas to what could cause this?

Thanks
