I am getting an error message when trying to debug my project:

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start program 'C:\path\to\project.exe'. Unrecognized error occoured in the Windows Web Services framework.

This error occurs in all build modes / platform configurations, but not when I launch without debugging (CTRL + F5). Then, it works just fine.

When I tried creating an empty Console Application Project, debugging worked without any problems.

What I tried so far:

  • Repair VS 2013
  • Reinstall VS 2013
  • Install VS 2012 (same error)
  • Disable Sophos AntiVirus and Firewall
  • Disable Windows Firewall
  • Deleting all shadow and temporary files (.suo and stuff)
  • Manually reset all settings

I would appreciate any hints...

  • You told us which project types work, but nothing about the project that fails to work. What kind of project is it? – spender Jul 02 '15 at 09:44

    Sorry to not mention that. Actually, both (the clean working console app as well as my project) are C# console app projects. So no difference there. – krassdanke Jul 02 '15 at 09:59

So I found the answer in another question (see this stackoverflow.com question).

Using the command prompt, I ran 

devenv.exe /ResetAddin 
devenv.exe /ResetSkipPkgs 
devenv.exe /ResetUserData
devenv.exe /ResetSettings

After full reinstall, all setings seemed to be cleared, but somehow this was not the case.
