I have an ASP.NET MVC 5 project that I am trying to build on our company build server using MSBuild, however the build fails to restore NuGet packages. I am using Visual Studio 2015 and TFS.
My project structure is as follows:
- Solution (.sln)
- .nuget
- NuGet.config
- NuGet.targets
- Project Folder
- Project items (references, libraries etc)
- Project.Test.Unit
- Unit test items
Here is my NuGet.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<solution>
<add key="disableSourceControlIntegration" value="true" />
</solution>
</configuration>
Here is my NuGet.targets file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I have tried the following:
Added this code to the NuGet.config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<solution>
<add key="disableSourceControlIntegration" value="true" />
</solution>
<packageSources>
<add key="itliv" value="\\itliv-nas03\Development Team\NuGet\Packages" />
</packageSources>
<activePackageSource>
<add key="All" value="\\itliv-nas03\Development Team\NuGet\Packages" />
</activePackageSource>
</configuration>
- Tried running through command line using:
nuget restore path\to\solution.sln which returns the following error:
WARNING: Unable to find version '3.4.1.9004' of package 'Antlr'.
C:\Users\it-chrism\.nuget\packages\: Package 'Antlr.3.4.1.9004' is not found on source 'C:\Users\it-chrism\.nuget\packages\'.
C:\Users\it-chrism\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache: Package 'Antlr.3.4.1.9004' is not found on source 'C:\Users\it-chrism\AppData\Local\NuGet\Cache'.
I have tried editing my NuGet.targets file several different ways in hopes to fix (tried different package sources, different cases, removed/added quotation marks)
I have read the following documentation:: http://docs.nuget.org/ndocs/consume-packages/package-restore#migrating-to-automatic-restore but no success
I have updated to NuGet 3.3
Here is my error message when attempting to build:

Building the projects in this solution one at a time. To enable parallel build, please add the "/m" switch.
TF270015: 'MSBuild.exe' returned an unexpected exit code. Expected '0'; actual '1'.
I have a feeling that NuGet is looking in the wrong folder for the missing packages. I can include the sources in Tools > NuGet Package Manager.. > Package Manager Settings > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources but this only works for me locally using Visual Studio and not using MSBuild attempting to build it 'out of the box'.
I am attempting to build on TSF by opening up Team Explorer > Builds, then right-clicking on my build and selecting Queue New Build...
