I created a project using Visual Studio 2010 and trying to create the build in TFS 2013. I am getting the following error. Target Framework is 4.0. Why my build server is looking for Visual Studio 12.0 folder? How to change this settings? I appreciate any suggestions.

error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found

  • Where are you getting this error? Locally or on the build server? – DaveShaw Jul 22 '14 at 20:41
  • It's on the Build Server. I installed VS 2010 on build server. – nav100 Jul 22 '14 at 20:46

  • Thank you. I changed the MSBuild configuration to use Visual Studio 2010. It works now. – nav100 Jul 23 '14 at 15:11

Copy the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0" from development machine to the build machine.

You need to do one of the following:

  1. Change the build configuration to use 2010
  2. Install VS 2013 on the build server.

I would recommend upgrading your visual studio anyway as you are already 2 versions behind with CTP's already available for DEV14,..
