I have been building Cordova hybrid apps using visual studio professional 2013 with CTP2.0 and everything was working fine. Then Visual Studio warned me that I should upgrade to update 4.0 and CTP 3.0. After that upgrade I was no longer able to deploy my app. It builds OK but the deploy fails. I tried to reinstall VS2013 and even reset my laptop to factory settings.
When deploying I receive the following message in the output window:
1>------ Build started: Project: BlankCordovaApp1, Configuration: Debug Android ------
