msbuild ASPNETCOMPILER ASPNETRUNTIME startIndex error - .net-4.0

I have a web project that builds fine on Windows 7 with no error. When I upgraded to Windows 8, compiling the project into a compiled website throws an error. Compiling from the csproj file (not creating a website) works fine. This is the actual error that is thrown by msbuild
ASPNETCOMPILER : error ASPRUNTIME: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string. [mycsproj.file.here]
The line that msbuild is running that is throwing the error is
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_compiler.exe -v / -p my.physical.project.path -u my.physical.project.path\buildartifacts\CompiledWebsite
I was able to get a stack trace as well from running the aspnet_compiler with the -errorstack tag and this is what it generated
[ArgumentOutOfRangeException]: startIndex cannot be larger than length of string.

How do I fix this? I assume it has something to do with the assembly name due to the stack trace, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what to do to fix it. Could someone help me out?

Run "Clean" followed by "Rebuild" using Visual Studio. This fixed the problem for me.

SharePoint 2019 - Stop Inheriting Permissions results in System.Web.HttpUnhandledException (0x80004005) error

After finishing up the installation of SharePoint 2019, I wanted to create a new document library. As I didn't want the library to inherit permissions from the root site, I clicked "Stop Inheriting Permissions". Unexpectedly, this resulted in an "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904" error. The ULS logs show the following:

After some research, I thought it would be a database-related issue, so I checked the parametrization. It was set to simple for every database, like the forums told me to do, so that didn't help either.
I also installed SharePoint 2019 on another server, the problem exists there as well.
Does anyone have a clue on this?
Thanks in advance.

When I create a new project the designer works fine but I get the following error on project properties on Application tab:
Property accessor 'TargetDescriptions' on object 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectFlavoring.Automation.Project.CommonProjectExtender' threw the following exception:'Value cannot be null.
This happens either if I keep min version 10.0.10240 or leave min as 10586
Removing SDK 10240 worked to solve the designer issue in my "old" project, still the error at the project properties happens
UPDATE:
I completely uninstalled the Windows 10 SDK, along with the 8.1 SDK, then reinstalled only 10 SDK (10586) using the VS installer from the dev site https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads
And it's worse now, I can't compile, the application tab in properties now says this:
An error occurred trying to load the page.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelectedIndex'.
Parameter name: SelectedIndex
Also when I try to create a new Blank Universal app I get the following message:
"Could not find a suitable SDK to target"
Well, the only thing that worked was uninstalling all standalone Windows SDKs, from 10586.11, 10586.15 and before, then reinstalling the 10586.15 again, this worked finally, just in case someone gets into this

This appears to be caused by the ShortID.Encode(string) method expecting the GUID in the string parameter to have brackets (" { " and " } ") around it. Some of our multilist field relationships were associated programmatically using Guid.ToString(), which does not include the brackets. Unfortunately, these values cause the ShortID.Encode() method to choke.
First things first: find all the places you call MultiListField.Add(string) and change Guid.ToString() to Guid.ToString("B"). This will resolve the issue for all new relationships.
Create a custom FieldReader class to replace the standard MultiListFieldReader (we called ours CustomMultiListFieldReader).
Set your custom class to inherit from Sitecore.ContentSearch.FieldReaders.FieldReader.
Decompile the Sitecore.ContentSearch.FieldReaders.MultiListFieldReader.GetFieldValue(IIndexableDataField) method into your custom class.
Before the if (ID.IsID(id)) line, add the following code:
if (!str.StartsWith("{") && !str.EndsWith("}"))
id = String.Format("{{{0}}}", str);
In your index configuration (we added ours to the default, Sitecore.ContentSearch.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config) change the fieldReaderType for the MultiList fields to your custom type. (This can be found in your config at sitecore/contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration/fieldReaders/mapFieldByTypeName/fieldReader.)
Full disclosure: I don't love this approach because if the default implementation of the MultiListFieldReader ever changed, we'd be without those changes. But this allows the items to be included in the index without reformatting all of the GUIDs in every multilist field.

Program Does Not Run On Win XP But Will Run On Win7

So I designed a program using Visual Studio 2010 on a Win7 box. For the sake of this the program is called Test.exe
When another user, using Win XP tries to open this program, it pops up a Just In Time Debugger window and never runs. I can open the program on my Win7 box and additional Win7 boxes and each time the program opens.
I'm not exactly sure where to begin to figure out why Win XP machines fail to run this program.
Any suggestions?
EDIT
Here is the exception error we got but running the debugger on the XP machine.

You'll need to make sure that the Windows XP system has the appropriate version of the .NET Framework installed.
Also, there are many types that will not work on XP within .NET framework 4. For example, if you use the MD5Cng class, you'll see (in the "Platforms" section of the docs) that it's only supported on Vista+, not on XP. Using this class in a program will cause an exception if it's run on XP.
Edit:
From your stack trace, it looks like your Form (WinApp.Form1) is using an Icon (.ico) which is a format that is unsupported by Windows XP. For example, if you use a full color icon, this can raise an exception on XP. Make sure it's a 256 color icon file to work properly on XP.
