Step 2: Locate the <PropertyGroup> section:

<PropertyGroup>
 <Configuration>Debug</Configuration>
 <OutputFolder>.\_Package</OutputFolder>
 <ConfigurationFolder>.\Sources</ConfigurationFolder>
 <ReadyToDeployFolder>..\..\SDK</ReadyToDeployFolder>
 <GeneralSolutionFile>..\Sana Commerce SDK.sln</GeneralSolutionFile>
 <ConsoleInstallerOutput>ConsoleInstaller</ConsoleInstallerOutput>
 <WinFormInstallerOutput>WinFormInstaller</WinFormInstallerOutput>
 <FrontEndFolderName>Sana.Commerce.Startersite</FrontEndFolderName>

 <WebServiceOutput>WebService</WebServiceOutput>
 <SqlServerInstance>.\SQLEXPRESS</SqlServerInstance>
 <DatabaseName>SanaStore</DatabaseName>
 <DatabaseAdminLogin></DatabaseAdminLogin>
