MSB4018 Error Visual Studio 2015 ASP.Net and Error Publish Web App to Azure - asp.net

Question

I am working with Visual Studio 2015 Community with Azure 2.9 For the first time. I tried creating a brand new ASP.Net Web Application. The default template build and viewed in the Browser with no issues.
I tried publishing the site using Azure. When doing so I get this error
The "InvokePowerShell" task failed unexpectedly.

I am assuming I missed something in my install? Anyone know what this error is or how to get passed it?

Answer 1

I upvoted this in the past, then apparently found the answer somewhere else, then forgot the answer again and ended up here again.
Adding <AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings>False</AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings>
in the csproj on the right PropertyGroup fixed the problem for me.
