We are using Nlog as logging tool with our Worker Role of Azure app. It requires NLog.config file. We installed "SlowCheetah - XML Transforms", and have two Debug/Release transforms).
Solution does get rebuild successfully.
But when I try to run, I am getting following error. (I used exact transformation for nolog.config in one of my Windows service app, and it is working fine there).
Error 163 The item "bin\Debug\NLog.config" in item list "OutputGroups" does not define a value for metadata "TargetPath". In order to use this metadata, either qualify it by specifying %(OutputGroups.TargetPath), or ensure that all items in this list define a value for this metadata.

I don't know if this is done by the SlowCheetah extension, but could you verify if your *.csproj file contains the AfterCompile target similar to this?
Take a look at Oleg's blog post .Config File Transformation under App.config File Transformation for more information.
