VS 15.8.0 Crashes when trying to edit an IIS, FTP, Web Deploy Publish profile

[Tom Menshik]

I upgraded to the version 15.8.0 yesterday and now on only one project, VS crashes whenever I try to create and/or edit an IIS, FTP, Web Deploy Publish profile. I tried deleting the profiles to no avail. As soon as I hit Configure, a blank Profile form comes up and then VS crashes. It still works fine for other Web projects in other solutions. For now, I have had to create a Folder profile to get around the issue. Needless to say this very frustrating since I see many others have had issues like this and yet it is still happening.
