TFS 2013 cannot find MSTest.exe

We've just upgraded to TFS 2013 and all our build templates are failing now, because it cannot find MSTest. It appears to be using the path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools..\IDE\MSTest.exe

Which does not refer to a copy of MSTest.exe. Does anyone know where this is defined, and how I can change it?

There were a couple of problems with the install of TFS 2013.

  • We needed to install a better version of TFS on the build server than VS2013 Express, as express doesn't include MSTest.exe
  • We needed to update our custom build template to remove references to the TFS 2010 libraries
  • Restart the build agent process to detect changes to environmental variables

Lots of this advice was garnered from here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd647548.aspx

In case it helps someone...

I've just encountered a similar problem on our build server, and was able to rectify it by installing Visual Studio 2013 on it - for some reason it didn't spot the VS 2012 tools that were already present and which had been working with TFS 2012.
