TFS 2015 Requires Test Agent with a Certain Version

When we are trying to queue a build with some coded UI tests, TFS 2015 complains about test agent not being of the correct version.

No agent found in pool 1 which satisfies the specified demains:

Agent.Version -gtVersion 1.94.0

enter image description here

I've downloaded and installed the Agents for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 5, but I'm not sure if it's the latest possible version we can get.

I'm 100% pretty sure TFS sees our agent.

Is there a way to ensure we have this 1.94.0 version? And where can I find a download link for it? Or maybe, the problem is not with the version?

Did you investigate this? - lokusking
You need an agent whose version is greater than v1.94, so everything above should work. I have VS2015 installed and agent version is v1.95.3 . - Legends
So, you are saying that I just Need Agents for Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 instead of Agents for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 5? Ok, I will try - Denis Molodtsov

If you are running tests using Build vNext tasks and want to install agents from a local directory, you need to download Agents for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 - Click on "Tools for Visual Studio 2015" and then select "Agents for Visual Studio 2015" from the left navigation bar.

Or you can add a Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment task in your build step. This task will deploy “Test Agent” to all the machines and configures them automatically for the automation run.

It's looking for a build agent which version is equal to 1.94.0 rather than the test agent version. Please download the latest build agent from your TFS web portal and configure it.
