title: Visual Studio Online Error parsing solution file at *.xproj
body: <p>I am working on an AspNet5 project and trying to use VSO to build the project. I am following the article <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/Library/vs/alm/Build/azure/deploy-aspnet5" rel="nofollow">here</a> but when I build the xproj file I get "Error parsing solution file at {ProjectPath}.xproj: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." How can I get the MsBuild step to run without throwing this error? </p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  My xproj file nearly identically matches the xproj <a href="https://github.com/chrisrpatterson/TeamBuildAspNet5Sample/blob/master/AspNet5/src/AspNet5/AspNet5.xproj" rel="nofollow">here</a></p>
