PCL “profile 111” - how to install on TFS build server?

I have a VS2013 solution containing a PCL project that targets .Net 4.5, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8.1. It builds on my dev PC but fails on the build server (TFS 2012):-

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets (983): The reference assemblies for framework ".NETPortable,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile111" were not found. To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. Note that assemblies will be resolved from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and will be used in place of reference assemblies. Therefore your assembly may not be correctly targeted for the framework you intend.

What must I install to get "profile 111" on the build server? Or could I just copy the profile folder from my dev PC?

Microsoft has a separate download to include the reference assemblies,

Once installed, you get all the profiles needed. Further information can be found from Xamarin,

Do you have VS 2013 installed on your build server? If not I suggest installing it.

The "profile 111" seems available only with VS2013 Update 3... http://lastexitcode.com/projects/NuGet/PortableProfiles/

That's weird for a build server.. but it seems to be the only way until that asp.net 5 will be really usable for prod.
