  2. Remove all the contents (in red below) between (not including) the following elements:
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
          {5C48CB6B-AE6F-4288-A8EE-46E352BB730C}.Debug|.NET.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
          {5C48CB6B-AE6F-4288-A8EE-46E352BB730C}.Debug|.NET.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
          {5C48CB6B-AE6F-4288-A8EE-46E352BB730C}.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
          {5C48CB6B-AE6F-4288-A8EE-46E352BB730C}.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
         
EndGlobalSection

    2. ‘Name = “Release”’ with ‘Name = “Deployment”’
    3. “bin\Debug” with “bin\Development”
    4. “bin\Release” with “bin\Deployment”

Save the file.
