Commented Unassigned: Visual Studio Crashes everytime I try to run a Basic Windows Azure Express Application with No Changes [1052]

1. Project -> New -> Basic Windows Azure Express Application
2. Waiting for node components to get loaded
3. Click on Internet Explorer run icon (aka run with debugging)

Result - node.js runs, IE runs, the apps display the welcome message fine BUT Visual Studio crashes! Every time.

The event log shows two errors...
