I set up a hosted agent in Azure to do a CI build but I'm getting the following warning during the Visual Studio build step before the build fails:

"Visual Studio version '15.0' not found. Looking for the latest version."

Looking at the documentation for hosted agents it looks like they're not deployed with Visual Studio 2017:

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-gb/docs/build/concepts/agents/hosted

Does anyone know when the hosted agents will be deployed with Visual Studio 2017 or when this will be likely?

  • @rboe This question was asked a while back when VS 2017 had not been released, I found it before posting my question. Now it has been released I would've assumed Microsoft will update the hosted agents, I'm not asking for a workaround but when the hosted agents will have VS 2017 installed. – Calum Mar 14 '17 at 15:08

When selecting your agent queue, you can now select the "Hosted VS2017".

You may need to adapt your build pipeline. For instance I had to remove the Nuget Restore step I had and just ticked the "restore nuget package" in the build step. The standard Restore Nuget step was trying to use MsBuild 14 which is not available on VS2017 agents.
