TFS build failing

Question

I am getting below error during build using TFS 2013.

I may need to change some environment variable value.

When I do build manually it works. but when I trigger it from build definition it through this error.

The imported project "...Path_on_windowsx86.....\Microsoft\VisualStudio***v11.0***\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found.

Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Please advise.

Answer 1

Your build server is missing the additional targets for the project that you are trying to build install visual studio on the build server and restart your build.

Answer 2

I have VS 2010 and 2013 both installed, After I tried it with VS 2010 it worked without any error. so issue was because of different version of TFS !!
