I write library on c# (vs2010), which work with MS Office. In local computer it's successfully build. But when I try build on my local tfs server, I see exception:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets (176): The "FindRibbons" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.BuildTasks, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.BuildTasks, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.

If I understand correct, the library need placed in GAC (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL) on TFS Server. So. What I need install, that fix this error?

Setting up the build server for VSTO is a bit involved. The detailed modifications are described at a whitepaper referenced by the blog post, How to Build Visual Studio 2010 Office Development Projects with TFS Team Build 2010. You need to package and deploy a few components and make a few environment changes.

Fortunately, the VSTO team provides a set of scripts that automate the packaging and deployment of the required components. The process is described at Using Team Build with VSTO – Made Easier!

UPDATE

Unfortunately, the script was retired a long time ago and neither the blog post nor the relevant MSDN page were updated.
