In VSE2012 we set up a copy of our test site, checked all works, renamed webconfig.sys, then run Install-Package UmbracoCms -Version 6.1.6 from Package Manager Console. On build we get the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Further information... 1) There was one error during the umbraco package installation: "Cannot remove default or system references from Web site." On completion, install reported "Successfully added Umbraco CMS 6.1.6 to [MyWebsite]'.
2) The project is a Website Project in VS2012 (not a Web Application Project because some pages are coded in VB and some in C#).
3) Build reports one error:
Error3 It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.C:[Path]\visual studio 2012\Projects\W10v105\packages\UmbracoCms.6.1.6\Content\Web.config (line 86)
The offending line 86 in the UmbracoCms folder's web.config file is in the system.web section:
If this is the error that leads to the server error, then the solution cannot be to configure the virtual directory as an application, because (as I understand it) we do need to run this as a Website Project, not a Web Application Project.
