Visual Studio 2013 publish crash after newest windows 10 update

1

I used to use VS2013 and set up my profile to publish web project. It was working as expected in windows 10 until I installed the newest update for windows 10 last night.

Now every time I publish my project then popup says visual studio has stopped working and restarted itself.

I tried clean my project and rebuild, delete profile and import new one. re-install and get the latest Visaul Studio update. None of them worked.

Exception:

System.StackOverflowException was unhandled Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

In Event log:

I still have no idea why it crashed, please shed some light if anyone knows anything, thanks!

I finally pinned down to the root cause of crash. If I delete obj and bin folder in my project, then publish profile will work. Maybe that's because I have some dll conflict warning when build my project?

I still not sure why this didn't happen in windows 8. Why it behaves differently in windows 8 and 10?

I've had this problem too, and the only way to solve it was to reinstall Visual Studio, or you can try first repairing the installation.

I have figured out that the problem is withing the .csproj file.

  1. open the file in text editor (i.e. notepad++) and cut off the files section (ItemGroup elements) for after reference
  2. save the file
  3. open the project in vs2013 (I am not sure you need to reopen the vs2013 - but that's what I did).
  4. Then close the project in vs2013.
  5. paste back all the ItemGroup elements we just cut out
  6. resave.
  7. publish it again
