TFS Build Process Parameters aren't displaying / loading

In my build definition, I have some parameters set to "Always Show", like this one:

When I queue a new build, the parameter(s) should display in this dialog:

build dialog

Instead, I get this error:

Summary: There were 0 failures, 1 errors and 0 warnings loading custom activities and services. Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

What is causing this? I have Visual Studio 2013 and TFS Power Tools 2013 installed on Windows 8.1.

Your workflow is using some Visual Studio 2012 activity, so you have two options:

  1. Install VS 2012
  2. Update your workflow and any custom activity to reference 2013 assemblies
