As I found at Community developer site, the problem is in the content of project files. To solve the situation you have to open existing *.rptproj file and manually add Platform into all build configurations, where it is missing.

After this change, Visual Studio detects that project files has been changed, so you can reload them and therefore you can save them.

All my platforms were already populated to Win32. I changed it to Win64 in Notepad, saved, switched back to VS, it asked me to reload the project/sln, it worked! I opened back up notepad, changed them all back to Win32, re-reloaded in VS and it still worked. – Unseat
