Error VSHost, REGDB_E_INVALIDVALUE Loading a specific project

Whenever I load a solution in Visual Studio with a specific project specified as a startup project, I get VSHost32.exe crashing. If I continue and run the application, I get a COMException:

{"Invalid value for registry (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040153 (REGDB_E_INVALIDVALUE))"}

Using stacktrace:

at System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetDeveloperPath()
at System.AppDomain.SetupFusionStore(AppDomainSetup info)
at System.AppDomain.SetupDomain(Boolean allowRedirects, String path, String configFile)

This can happen if the developmentM parameter is set in the project configuration file, but the devPath is not on the computer.

<runtime>
    <developmentMode developerInstallation="true"/>
</runtime>

Removal to be fixed.
