VS2012

I am trying to create a deployment package using visual studio 2012 and i am getting xml transform error. The following are the options i have tried to fix this:

1. Removed the debug and release config file as i don't need it
2. Disabled the TransformWebConfigEnabled to prevent transforming during deployment
3. Uninstalled windows azure sdk

The solutions were coming from different post from other articles yet still no luck.

please see error below:

Solutions I have tried.
Solution 1: Uninstall Visual Studio 2012 and azure sdk and Install back the VS2012 and Azure SDK 2.3

Failed Result: I still can't publish due to xml transform dll not found.

+++

Solution 2: Tried Installing VS 2013

Successful Result: I am now able to publish using vs2013
