This might not be the right forum for an issue I'm having, however, I'm dead in the water until I can solve it.
My VS 2012 solution has a Database project: Database.sqlproj.
Today I hit a colliding package problem that led me to reinstall and repair Sql Server Data Tools to eliminate warnings. The activity log revealed that the installation apps had been creating incorrect names in the registry. Ten+ names in the registry had paths in which a backward slash had been left out between "Program Files(86)\Visual Studio 11.0" and "Common7". The path shown in the errors in the activity log looked like this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7
I searched for and corrected those errors in the registry, opened VS 2012 and my project without errors, or so I thought. I discovered that I could no longer 'Publish' the database project. Looking into the SQL Server Object Explorer and the activity log I now see this:
Construction of frame content failed. Frame identifier:
ST:0:0:{fbcae063-e2c0-4ab1-a516-996ea3dafb72} Frame caption: SQL Server Object

Thanks for any help with this,
Arnold
