Transportation management engine. The ResolveAssemblyReference task failed unexpectedly.

We are creating TMS engine based on the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/supply-chain-dev/create-new-transportation-management-engine

The solution compiles successfully until we add the reference to one of the following assemblies:
Microfoft.Dynamics.Ax.Framework.Linq.Data
Microfoft.Dynamics.Ax.Framework.Linq.Data.AdoNet
Microfoft.Dynamics.Ax.Framework.Linq.Data.Msil
Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Data.Core
Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Server.Core
Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Xpp.AxShared
Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Xpp.Support

In that case we get the following error

What could be a cause of the error and how to fix it?
