Right click on Project file ( .csproj) and select
Properties.Go to the
Webtab.Choose specific page radio button ( its The start external program causing the problem).

I did the same default browser trick that you did and ended up with the same error every time I tried to run the app.
I tried:
- Using 'Browse With...' and manually pointing to the exe of one of the browsers
No joy
- running devenv /resetsettings
No joy
- Installing WoVS Default Browser Switcher and switching between browsers
No Joy
- In the project properties changing to 'Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application' then changing back to 'Specific Page'
No more error!
As far as I know the last step is all that was needed but just in case a previous step had a side effect I thought I'd list them all.
Hope that fixes your problem, it's a truly awful error.
