Hello KBramstedt,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this snag.
From the error, it appears there might be a corrupted element in the project that's causing the publishing process to fail. Would you be willing to share a copy of your project file here or in private by opening a support case so we can fix it for you? We'll delete it when we're done!
