My error message is similar when starting the project:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start program 'C:\Project\StrictAny\PrensentationLayer\bin\PPEREM.exe'

The address is not valid for this context "

I solved the problem by switching [Solution Explorer=>Solution Properties=>Active config=>Debug|AnyCUP] to "Debug|x86"

Then the application proceeds in starting.

Weird issue..

hope this helps anyone.
