We have TFS build machine configured to build source code from TFS. On this machine we had Team Foundation Server 2013 together with Microsoft Build Tools 2013 installed and then recently, we installed Microsoft Build Tools 2015. In the build defintion, we put /tv:14.0 for MSBuild arguments to indicate we want to use version 14.0 of MSBuild. Also, we set the perform code analysis to be false so that it won't perform code analysis.
However, when we queue a build, it failed with given errors:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\CodeAnalysis\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.targets (214): The source file for this compilation can be found at: "C:\Users\tfsservice\AppData\Local\Temp\b54ca1bb-e696-4214-a196-5c79c32345cd.txt"

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\CodeAnalysis\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.targets (214): The "SetEnvironmentVariable" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with <UsingTask> in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\amd64" directory.
Does anybody experience this issue before?
It seems like the Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core was referenced to the incorrect version of Microsoft.Build.Framework.
However, in MSBuild.exe.config, this assembly is redirected corectlly
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Build.Framework" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" culture="neutral"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-99.9.9.9" newVersion="14.0.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
Any helps are appreciated.
P.s. The solution we want to build is a visual c++ solution upgraded from VS 2013 to VS 2015.
Seems that many other community members have the similar issue, the /tv:14.0 argument doesn't work. Check this link for the detailed information.
The workaround is: instead of using the /tv:14.0 argument, you need to customize the tfs build process template to set ToolPath of the Run MSBuild for Project to target to MSBuild14; and set ToolVersion to "14.0".

I recently updated my visual studio to 2017 Enterprise.
I used to use DevExpress v15.1
Today, I upgraded my DevExpress to version 18.1 and when I build my .Net MVC5 Application Solution, I got the following error
The type 'XtraReport' is defined in an assembly that is not
referenced. You must add a reference to assembly
'DevExpress.XtraReports.v15.1, Version=15.1.8.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a'.
The above Error is located in ReportController.cs
I checked my references Folder under the project to find that the DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.1 is there.
What might be the cause of this error?.
Thank you for your help.
Based from the message, the XtraReport still references the older version of its DLL assembly:
'DevExpress.XtraReports.v15.1, Version=15.1.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a'
Usually this problem occurred because Project Converter failed to update XtraReport related references after upgrade. In this case, you can manually remove all references to older assemblies (version 15.1) and then add references to new assemblies (version 18.1).
Also make sure that web.config file has these assembly information like below example (X indicates revision number):
<add assembly="DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.1, Version=18.1.X.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" />
<add assembly="DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.1.Web, Version=18.1.X.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a" />
If the solution above failed, try install the assemblies to the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) by navigating to X:\Windows\assembly (X stands for the system drive letter) and copy all new DevExpress assemblies to that folder (including DevExpress.XtraReports.v18.1), as mentioned in this issue.

I'm attempting to load a pre-existing Umbraco CMS site into a Visual Studio project and am caught up in a bit of DLL hell.
Here is the error message I get when attempting to compile the site:
Could not load types from assembly Umbraco.Core, Version=1.0.5462.37503, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, errors:
Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed'
I've attempted to re-install Newtonsoft from NuGet, re-install Umbraco from NuGet, delete all DLLs and re-install, removed the Newtonsoft dependentAssembly, every possible solution I've been able to find and this error continues to come up.
Any suggestions?
I'm guessing the binding redirect isn't set up correctly in the web.config file. Try running this in the nuget package manager console:
PM> Get-Project –All | Add-BindingRedirect
This ended up being a bit of a misunderstanding on my part from following the Umbraco videos. I was attempting to set up a new Visual Studio project, import all the DLLs needed, and then move the site content into the project.
All I really needed to do was create a blank project, then move the site content, with all of its DLLs, into the project. This let me immediately start editing the project.
The best solution was to install an earlier version of the package and then upgrade.
I get this error when trying to create or open existing projects, VS 2012 on Windows 8
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I tried to remove and reinstall entity framework, but the installer tells me my computer already has it installed.
I was trying to deploy my app into different environments then i started following this how to:
Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Hosting Provider using Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer: Web.Config File Transformations - 3 of 12
was perfect until I clicked in Preview Transform, I received this error:
Microsoft Visual Studio
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
(I created just one transformation Web.DebugQA.config and of course the default ones, debug and release)
my Web.DebugQA.config looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDB"
connectionString="Data Source=ReleaseSQLServer;Initial Catalog=MyReleaseDB;Integrated Security=True"
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"/>
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
</system.web>
<appSettings>
<add key="EnvironmentName" value="QADev" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(value)"
xdt:Locator="Match(key)" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
but then I install this plugin:
SlowCheetah - XML Transforms
and I solved my preview transform error, but then when I was trying to publish using the QADev transform I got this error:
The "ImportParametersFile" task failed unexpectedly.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform, Version=1.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].
I'm using Visual Studio Pro 2012.
I fixed this by repairing "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 - Visual Studio 2012" from Control Panel --> Programs and Features.
The file Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll was missing from the path C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web.
I had a similar error, although it was caused for different reasons.
I solved it copying the following DLL from another PC with VS2012 installed:
Microsoft.Web.XmlTransforms.dll
from: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web
I hope this helps
I had same problem in VS2012, could not 'Preview Transform' for the PublishPackage tranforms e.g. Web.Staging.config complaining about Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform
I got it working by adding the Package https://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Web.Xdt to my Mvc 4.5 project. This package is still in pre release.
PM> Install-Package Microsoft.Web.Xdt -Pre
This package contains the Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll
I still get an error during building complaining about "Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform". The Mvc project has still built ok.
I did try adding the Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll to the Gac using the gacutil but that did not fix the problem.
However I use Team Foundation Service build server and it works and creates the correct Web.config after applying the Web.Release.config and then the Web.Staging.config.
I tried below two things but it did not work for me.
1) copying the Microsoft.Web.XmlTransforms.dll DLL to location C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web
2) And repairing "Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 - Visual Studio 2012"
Then I uninstalled Microsoft Azure tool V2.6 from control panel -> Programs and Features. And then I can able to publish my site.
This may have been fixed in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 (and Visual Studio 2013).
Web.config "Preview Transform" gives an error

Thanks for reporting the issue! It will be fixed in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2. Please install it when it becomes available.
My crystal report page gives an error "Could not load file or assembly 'log4net, Version=1.2.10.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference."
Do I have to have ddl for 1.2.10 or 1.2.11 in bin folder? Or what can be wrong?
If you have a x86 development machine and your web server is a 64-bit machine, you may be running into the problem discussed in this thread.
Visual Studio is automatically deploying a 32-bit log4net.dll into the 64-bit web server, even if you don't have it referenced in your project. Just delete the log4net.dll from your bin directory once deployment has finished because it's not actually required by the CR runtime to work.
