I just installed Sharepoint 2010 stand-alone on Windows 7 and I'm trying to deploy a web part by simply selecting Build->Deploy. The web part doesn't contain anything; I just wanted to test if I can at least deploy an empty one.
Here's the output I get before Visual Studio crashes with "Visual Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close":
------ Deploy started: Project: SharePointProject3, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ Active Deployment Configuration: Default
Run Pre-Deployment Command: Skipping deployment step because a pre-deployment command is not specified.
Recycle IIS Application Pool:
Skipping application pool recycle because no matching package on the server was found.Retract Solution: Skipping package retraction because no matching package on the server was found. Add Solution:
This is the entry in the application log:

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
