C# VSTO Office add-in: “FindRibbons” task failed unexpectedly - c#

Every time I compile the project, I get this error. My AssemblyInfo.cs file does not have the attributes ExcelLocale1033 or SecurityTransparent. There is no VisualStudio folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.
The "FindRibbons" task failed unexpectedly.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'ProjectName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.
File name: 'ProjectName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

Fixed. It's because of a new project that I added to the VSTO solution. This other project's output type (right click project > Properties) used to be Windows Application. I changed that to Class Library and deleted Program.cs which contained this code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
}
}
The error never showed up again.

Issue with VSTO add-ins compiling with Reactive UI

When attempting to use ReactiveUI + ReactiveUI.Winforms with VSTO addins i get the compile time error below
I have tried all the different versions of ReactiveUI as far down as v11 with no success.
Step to reproduce:
Create a new VSTO Addin via Visual studio
Add ReactiveUI and ReactiveUI.Winforms via nuget
Try to build
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets(176, 9): [MSB4018] The "FindRibbons" task failed unexpectedly.

On recycle some applications get this error: Thread was being aborted

For some reason, after recycle, some applications keeps throwing the error below:
Thread was being aborted.

What is it means ?
It means in your code somewhere a thread is being created that took longer than the shutdown timeout allows to finish its work. That thread had to be forcefully shut down and the way that forceful shutdown is done is via a Thread.Abort() call.
So check your code for infinite while loops or for for loops that have improper ending conditions. However this could just be caused by any slow code that takes more than 30 sec or so to finish its work.

but it works perfectly fine. I am using FluentNhibernate to config my app
NHibernate uses DBProviderFactories as a fall back if loaing using reflection does not work. it could be that it logs the failing attempt even when it is able to load it.

How to fully trust a non-signed assembly?

I've got an assembly, which works just fine on my own pc, but when I try to reference it on a virtual machine, I'm getting following error:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'X.dll' or one of its ependencies. The specified module could not be found.
File name: 'X.dll'

at kernelLoader.Program.Main(String[] args)
I'm absolutely sure that the file is at the location specified, and the code works fine on my own machine (where it has been developed). It, together with all referenced assemblies, are compiled for x86 platform.
I think, that the error may be caused by the assembly not being fully trusted.
I can't strong sing the assembly, because it references several assemblies, which are not singed, and to which I don't have the code or the rights to modify.
I suspect that there is a good way of making an assembly trusted on the mashine where I run it.
How do I mark an assembly as trusted so it can be loaded and executed?
That exception is usually caused by a missing dll. One thing that can be used is ProcMon. When the missing dll is loaded and an error is through, the file name should show up in ProcMon.
