Answer 1

As mentioned by perlyking, rather than editing the csproj XML The following worked for me. Here are the steps I used.

1. Open the Project Properties.
2. Select the Build Tab.
3. Under the Output section, Check that an output path is set. (if not set one, save the project and it should work).
4. If it is set, click on the "Browse..." button of the output path.
5. When the folder selection dialog opens, Navigate up one level in the file browser and then re-select the output folder and click the "Select Folder" button.
6. Save the project properties and it should work.
