When debugging an endpoint and it's queues do not exist then an exception is thrown.

[CallumHibbert]

I don't really get this but it happens all the time no matter what I do. If I debug an endpoint and its queues do no exist, then I get a NullReference exception from inside the NSB code base:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

However, if I run the endpoint without debugging then it creates the queues just fine. I'm puzzled.

Installers are run automatically when you're in debug mode

So we need a better exception.
