I have this simple test project in vs 2013 I reference the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client in my library so added a Microsoft.Teamfoundation.Client.12.0.0.0.Fakes in the test project, using right click add fakes assembly.

Locally everything works fine but when i run the project trough the build server using the default template I get Fakes: code : assembly XXX\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll failed to load properly.

The non fake dll's are included in a solution folder.

Any other assembly added by fakes working perfectly fine but as soon as I fake the Microsoft.Teamfoundation. my build breaks.

Using VS2013 with TFS 2012 update 2.

Any reason why you need to fake the reference instead of providing them from GAC on build server? Installing TeamExplorer should do the job. - MikeR
Which version of VS is installed on your build machine? You need to install VS2013 if you have generated the fakes dlls using the same. - allen

I had the similar issue. The problem is because TFS and Visual Studio versions are not the same. I installed VS 2013 to the server where TFS Build Server installed.

Then renamed C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Fakes folder and copied C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Fakes folder into C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Fakes. This will solve your problem I guess.
