I am using TFS for Automation build, I installed TFS-2013, .net framework 4.5.1 on the server. I created an application and build definition in TFS.

When I am triggering build from my system, it is showing this error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets (97): Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper]::GetPlatformSDKDisplayName($(TargetPlatformIdentifier), $(TargetPlatformVersion))". Method 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.ToolLocationHelper.GetPlatformSDKDisplayName' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(a, b)).

Your build server should mirror your developer workstation.

You should have Visual Studio (which will bring the SDK) and everything else that your developers need to build locally.

In case this might help, the issue got resolved for me by applying Visual Studio Update 5.
