VS 2012 Crashing when trying to run Publish by PaulHN

I'm having this problem on RTM. The moment I click Publish VS2012 window is unresponsive.

Verifying Web Tooling Extensions update fixes the problem. Great job MS!

Hi Paul,

I have some good news! We've just released an update for VS2012 RC which contains the fix for this issue. You can find more information at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2012/07/12/visual-studio-2012-rc-web-tooling-extensions-update.aspx.

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

There is a bug in VS2012 RC where this crash will occur if the .pubxml file for your publish profile is marked as Read Only. If you make it writeable, the crash should be avoided.

This is fixed internally and will be released in the next VS2012 release.

Thanks,

Thanks for your feedback.

We are rerouting this issue to the appropriate group within the Visual Studio Product Team for triage and resolution. These specialized experts will follow-up with your issue.

I have uploaded the requested files. I still get the VS crash when publishing solutions.

I am currently standing by for an update from you and would like to know how things are going on your end. If you could get back to me at your earliest convenience with information I request, we will be able to make headway towards a resolution. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for your feedback. In order to efficiently investigate and reproduce this issue, we are requesting additional information outlined below.
    
It may help if you provide us with Bucket ID, a dump file and call stack.

Bucket ID:
1.    Open Event Viewer        
2.    Click on Windows Logs -> Application
3.    Search for a 1001 event that occurred soon after you encountered the crash
4.    The bucket ID should be available in the event details
(there may be multiple 1001 events for any given crash - only one will have the bucket ID)
Dump File and Callstack:
You can get detailed steps about how to get the dump file and call stack at http://blogs.msdn.com/debugger/archive/2009/12/30/what-is-a-dump-and-how-do-i-create-one.aspx
