Can't publish to Azure website using Visual Studio 2013 TargetPlatformVersion error

Question

When I try to publish to Azure Website I receive the following message:

Invoke build failed due to exception 'A numeric comparison was attempted on "$(TargetPlatformVersion)" that evaluates to "" instead of a number, in condition "'$(TargetPlatformVersion)' > '8.0'".  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets'.

Hi Michel,

It seems like a mismatched version issue. Please make sure your MSBulid version matched to .NetFrameWork version. I suggest you could refer to this blog for more details ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2013/07/24/msbuild-is-now-part-of-visual-studio.aspx ).

Hope this helps.

Michel,

did you find out what was causing this and how to fix it? Every now and then it happens in one of my solutions, too.. more precisely - in my case its a Cloud Services project that throws that error.

Thanks,

Just a quick Update, I found a WorkItem / Issue over at the NuGet tracker that mentions R# being the culprit: http://nuget.codeplex.com/workitem/3996 and if you check Resharper's public issue tracking system, you find the particular issue here:

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-408376

.. which is fixed with 8.2.1 (which is currently available as a RC).

Hope that helps!
