Hi daniheck, if you're still having trouble, could get a call stack as Bala described below by attaching a debugger to the VS session when you run into the error? Otherwise we can try a remote debugging session. Please contact me at johnwen (at) microsoft (dot) com.

Thanks,
John

I still got this Problem with VS2012RTM on a blank Win8 Machine with a complete fresh VS2012 Installation and Windows Azure Tools October release.

I had the same problem. The workaround presented by Michael Baird resolved my problem.

I got the same problem. Have tried to use the repair function and the running the commands mentioned by Bala, but still not working.

Probably has something to do with having VS2012 RC or VS2010 installed previously.

hi Bobby, here's one more thing to try. Can you attach a debugger to the VS session when you invoke the Publish dialog and send us the call stack? You can send an email to balach-AT-microsoft-DOT-com. If we can do a remote session and take a look at your machine, that might probably help as well. Please let me know at the above email address and we shall try our best to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
Bala Chirtsabesan.

No, running those two commands did not work for me. I still receive the same error when trying to Publish an MVC Web Application.

Bobby

Sorry to hear that everyone is running into this problem. If you run into the problem again, can you try opening a VS 2012 command prompt as administrator and run the following command?
devenv /setup
devenv /updateconfiguration

Does that fix the problem without having to uninstall and re-install?

Thanks,

I am having this problem as well. I had VS2012RC installed, removed it and installed VS2012RTM, and this issue has begun occurring. Critical to resolve ASAP.

Workaround worked for me. I'm able to publish to Azure again. Wonder what exactly broke it in the first place.

I am experiencing the same issue exactly the same as Michael Baird.
Posted by Michael Baird on 8/20/2012 at 9:26 AM
I am experiencing the same error. The link in the error explains that Windows Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2012) is needed. I already have that installed but I did try to re-install it as well as repair VS2012. Neither worked!

Workaround with uninstalling VS 2012, deleting specified directories and installing VS 2012 again was successful. Thanks

I uninstalled VS2012 again. Before I re-installed (a 3rd time), I went to my user's AppData and Documents folders and found all instances of Visual Studio 2012 and deleted them. Then I re-installed VS2012 and now Web Publishing is working.

Folders I deleted after uninstall:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Visual Studio 2012
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio\11.0
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
