The IDE expects to find a project configuration for any combination of `Configuration` and `Platform` values used in all `ProjectConfiguration` items. Often, it means that a project might have meaningless project configurations to fulfill this requirement. For instance, if a project has these configurations:

- Debug|Win32

- Retail|Win32

- Special 32-bit Optimization|Win32

then it must also have these configurations, even though "Special 32-bit Optimization" is meaningless for x64:

- Debug|x64

- Retail|x64
- Debug|x64
- Retail|Win32

- Special 32-bit Optimization|x64
Then if you add a new configuration to the project, say "Special 32-bit Optimization|Win32", then you must also add the configuration "Special 32-bit Optimization|x64", even though "Special 32-bit Optimization" is meaningless for x64.

You can disable the build and deploy commands for any configuration in the **Solution Configuration Manager**.
