I am running Sitecore 8 (Update 5) on .NET 4.6 and am running into an issue with Bundles returning a 404 error.
My layout view:
@using Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation
@using Sitecore.Mvc
@model RenderingModel
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>@Model.Item.Fields["Title"]</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>@Html.Sitecore().Field("Title")</h1>
@Html.Sitecore().Placeholder("content")
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

@Scripts.RenderFormat("<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"{0}\" defer=\"defer\"></script>", "~/bundles/scripts/footer")
</body>
</html>
My /Global.asax.cs file:
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Optimization;
using Glass.Mapper.Sc;
namespace Sitecore.Web
{
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
protected void Application_BeginRequest()
{
Sitecore.Context.Items["Disable"] = new VersionCountDisabler();
}
}
}
My /App_Start/BundleConfig.cs file:
using System.Web.Optimization;
public class BundleConfig
{
public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/scripts/footer").Include(
"~/Assets/js/jquery.validate.js",
"~/Assets/js/additional-methods.js",
"~/Assets/js/form.js",
"~/Assets/js/marketo.js"
));
#if DEBUG
BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = false;
#else
BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true;
#endif
}
}
The <system.webServer>/modules
section of my /Web.config:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
<add type="Sitecore.Web.RewriteModule, Sitecore.Kernel" name="SitecoreRewriteModule" />
<add type="Sitecore.Nexus.Web.HttpModule,Sitecore.Nexus" name="SitecoreHttpModule" />
<add type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.UploadWatcher, Sitecore.Kernel" name="SitecoreUploadWatcher" />
<add type="Sitecore.IO.XslWatcher, Sitecore.Kernel" name="SitecoreXslWatcher" />
<add type="Sitecore.IO.LayoutWatcher, Sitecore.Kernel" name="SitecoreLayoutWatcher" />
<add type="Sitecore.Configuration.ConfigWatcher, Sitecore.Kernel" name="SitecoreConfigWatcher" />
<remove name="Session" />
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule" preCondition="" />
<add type="Sitecore.Analytics.RobotDetection.Media.MediaRequestSessionModule, Sitecore.Analytics.RobotDetection" name="MediaRequestSessionModule" />
<add type="Sitecore.Web.HttpModule,Sitecore.Kernel" name="SitecoreHttpModuleExtensions" />
<add name="SitecoreAntiCSRF" type="Sitecore.Security.AntiCsrf.SitecoreAntiCsrfModule, Sitecore.Security.AntiCsrf" />
<remove name="BundleModule"/>
<add type="System.Web.Optimization.BundleModule" name="BundleModule"/>
</modules>
And lastly, the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting as displayed by /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx that shows /bundles is included in the list:
<!--
IGNORE URLS
Set IgnoreUrlPrefixes to a '|' separated list of url prefixes that should not be
regarded and processed as friendly urls (ie. forms etc.)
-->
<setting name="IgnoreUrlPrefixes" value="/sitecore/default.aspx|/trace.axd|/webresource.axd|/sitecore/shell/Controls/Rich Text Editor/Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx|/sitecore/shell/applications/content manager/telerik.web.ui.dialoghandler.aspx|/sitecore/shell/Controls/Rich Text Editor/Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd|/Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd|/sitecore/admin/upgrade/|/layouts/testing|/bundles|/Assets"/>
