Hi,

I have a standalone VM where I am setting up environment for debugging purpose. When have connected with TFS and mapped my solution, but when I am trying to open the solution nothing is getting load and Showing message project can not be loaded.

I have installed installed VS 2013 Professional with update 4, Microsoft Build Tool 2015, Developer Pack 4.5.2, restarted the VM, Microsoft Framework 4.5, 4.5.1, restarted the VM but no luck.

Following is the Error message Output Window of VS : 

D:\XYZ\-----\MyProject\UpdateTaskConsoleApp.csproj : error : Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, publicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Please suggect what else I should do so that my solution get loaded without any issue.

Thanks

    Please upgrade to .NET Framework 4.5.2, as per SDK:

    Any web service client created by using Visual Studio and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 that calls the Microsoft Dynamics CRM web services is fully supported in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The use of ASP.NET AJAX is supported.

    Any .NET assembly that is created with Visual Studio and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 for use in Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a Microsoft Dynamics CRM plug-in assembly or as a Microsoft Dynamics CRM custom workflow activity is supported.

    Any visualization (chart) that is created with .NET Framework 4.5.2 .

    Thanks,

    Prateek

    What is the version of dll with Microsoft Build Tool 2015? As per my understanding it will be v14.0 onward.

    But your project seems to refer to older version.

    Please check the version of Msbuild in your machine, go to : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.Build

    and see the dll version.

    You can then open the .csproj in notepad and update the reference of Microsoft.Build to the new version. It will be under <ItemGroup> tag.

    Let me know if this work.

    Thanks,

    Prateek
