Hi I have a MVC 3 web project which has been deployed to Azure successfully previously. Since i had some problems with github, and the Azure cloud project just won't publish, we have tried to delete/create new projects; updated varies settings, endpoints; include all of the dlls; tried to look for diagnostics. even we tried to created a blank new projects and deployed it so far nothing works

If you want to see what is going on, just activate Remote Desktop on the instance.
I found that between recycling of the instance there is enough time to run the web site and get the yellow screen of death telling you which dll you are missing.
