I have recently updated visual studio 2013 with Azure SDK 2.6 and since then I get this message and publish project is not working either. I have removed and re-installed Azure SDK and also did a re-install of VS 2013 with SP4; but the issues remains same. I have also done this...
gacutil -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Publish\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll"
gacutil -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Publish\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Publish.dll"
In ActivityLog.xml i see these failures...

The VS2013 is looking for version 1.4 of these two files while in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web Tools\Publish folder where as I have version 2.3.60417.0
What could be wrong?
