What's your build definition? Can you show the whole build logs here? – Marina Liu
@MarinaLiu-MSFT I have update the logs – Danushka Amith Weerasingha
Can you compare the version of @angular/cli you specified in package.json matches the version you installed on build agent machine? And can you also show your app in one drive? – Marina Liu
in my build agent machine and the project version are same so locally I can build but I don't know how to add that to my build agent.@MarinaLiu-MSFT – Danushka Amith Weerasingha
If you can help me to create new build agent which support both node and msbuild I really appreciate.@MarinaLiu-MSFT – Danushka Amith Weerasingha

You should make sure the version for angular/cli package in your package.json (you are using 1.6.1) matches with the installed package in Angular cli install task (which mainly installed the latest version 1.6.3).

To double check the version you installed in VSTS agent, you can add a Command Line task after Angular cli install task. Settings for Command Line task as below:

enter image description here

If the version is really 1.6.3, you should change the angular/cli version in package.json also as 1.6.3. Then build again in VSTS.

Besides, if you build your app succeed in local machine, you can create a private agent which located in the same local machine, then remove the Angular cli install task in your VSTS build definition, and then build by the private agent, it should also build successful.

The way to create a private agent as below:

  1. Create a PAT with all scopes authorized (if you already have, then skip this step):

    In Security page (https://account.visualstudio.com/_details/security/tokens) -> Add -> input description -> Create Token -> copy the new generated token.

  2. Config agent:

    In Agent Pools page, you can create New pool -> Download agent -> unzip the download .zip file -> run powershell as Administrator -> cd /unzip/folder -> then start config a private agent:

    ./config,cmd

    # input URL (https://account.visualstudio.com), PAT, agent pool name as the command hints

  3. Check if the new agent you created is online:

    In Agent Pools page -> select the new created -> check if it’s online -> If offline -> input ./run.cmd in powershell window.
