i am getting this error with visual studio 2010 and .net framework 4.0.
Not able to see any relevant solution for this especially with VS2010.
any comments/suggestions pls.

This is a bug in our code. It will be fixed for the next release. Please see here to help work around it.
What a stupid bug. I have logged it for v4.0. The only workaround I can find short of removing IgnoreStandardErrorWarningFormat is to add a CustomWarningRegularExpression like .*{.* so that you get warnings instead of errors or a crash.

I have a project that I used to deploy as a single executable, but I am no longer able to as the Publish process throws while trying to resolve the nugest. The project builds fine during the publish process and it also runs fine from visual studio.
My publish results:
========== Build: 7 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
I get a popup with this error:
08/12/2021 21:35:26
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> Microsoft.WebTools.Shared.Exceptions.WebToolsException: Publish has encountered an error. We were unable to determine the cause of the error. Check the output log for more details.

This is the configuration I am trying to build with:
If interested, the project can be found here: https://github.com/olekristianhomelien/TheAssetEditor
Any ideas what is going wrong?
My Build Server has been running just fine for a couple months and then this week we started getting this problem (see below).
It's almost certainly a permission problem, but no one in IT will admit to having changed a permission somewhere.
Also, it's trying to publish a log file to a location that doesn't exist!
to '#/416/logs/msbuild/agent-2'
If I knew where this location was, I would happily fix it or turn this specific publish off. All the other logs are present and accessible (obviously I'm able to view the log of these errors).
using Visual Studio 2013 & TFS2013.
This is the same issue, but changing the drop folders didn't fix it:

Update 12/29/2015
I've been able to confirm with IT that our main TFS instance was updated to 2013 Update 5.
Our build server is running TFS 2013 Update 4. My next priority will be getting the build server updated.
You can try to create a new build agent to see whether the issue persists.
The issue had nothing to do with TFS.
On the build server machine, we had a copy of Visual Studio installed (necessary for MSBuild and MSTest). The license we used had expired, and as a result Visual Studio installed in trial mode.
I don't know why this mattered, but reinstalling Visual Studio using a valid license fixed the issue.
I was getting this rather cryptic message on the build output in Visual Studio. There are no other errors but the build fails.
LC : error LC0000: 'The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)'
The problem was my licenses.licx file. I accidentally typed a few characters that causes the content to be invalid.
I have a sample test project given to developers on my project team to learn how to use automated tests. When I run the set of unit tests that I have, they all pass but I receive the following Warning and Error:
Warning: conflict during test run deployment: deployment item '[...]\WebAppMvc4.dll' directly or indirectly referenced by the test container '[...]\webappmvc4.tests.dll' cannot be deployed to 'WebAppMvc4.dll' because otherwise the file '[...]\WebAppMvc4.dll' would overwrite deployment item '[...]\WebAppMvc4.dll' directly or indirectly referenced by '[...]\webappmvc4.tests.dll'
Error: Cannot initialize the ASP.NET project 'WebAppMvc4'.
Exception was thrown: The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting 'http://localhost:12903/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd' returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.
This is very similar to the problem found here: Test run errors with MSTest in VS2010
However, the resolution to this problem had to do with turning off the Sign The Assembly checkbox in the project properties. Signing is not turned on for this project, and I have not been able to determine the reason for the Warning/Error.
Here is the information from Event Viewer for the Warning:

I have a problem similar to the reflector problem, except that I don't have the Reflector plugin installed, and I still can't start the NuGet console. I'm running on Windows 7 Professional, VS 2010 SP1.
Nuget works fine through the GUI, but for instance, I can't install *.vsdoc files without the console.

The only solution that worked was to start the PowerShell manually before starting VS2010.
So if anybody had this problem that's the quick fix.
NuGet needs Powershell2 to work correctly. You can download and install if from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968929
Starting the powershell doesn't help me. I found that this is an known issue of Nuget. You get this issue because you have red gate reflector add-in installed and enabled. If you update Reflector to the latest version (>= 6.5), it should work.
Please take a look at this link
http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/265
I had this issue under Visual Studio 2012. Neither removing Reflector nor removing GhostDoc extension, which were both said to cause such errors, helped. However, installing Windows Powershell 3.0 came to the rescue:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj205328.aspx
Productivity power tools was my problem. v12.0.30129.0 I disabled it - an uninstall was not necessary - and vs 2013 worked again
