Azure-pipelines-tasks: Nuget 3.5 @ TF2017.1 - missing Microsoft.Build, Version=14.0 while version VS2017 (15) is installed

Created on 4 Jan 2017  路  14Comments  路  Source: microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks

TF2017 with local agent and Visual Studio 2017RC (Version 15) installed.

I changed my Nuget Restore build task from Nuget Version 3.3 to 3.5 and receive this error:

It seems that there is a hard dependency on VS2015 ?

Facing the same error with nuget using in Teamcity.

I'm getting the same error building a NuGet Packager solution in Visual Studio 2013. I just updated the NuGet Package Manager extension for VS 2013.

Even running this from the command line:

C:\Path\To\MyProject>.\NuGet.exe pack MyProject.csproj

Ends with the same error.

I downloaded NuGet.exe version 4.0.0-RC4 and it fixed the issue: https://dist.nuget.org/

I have the same problem on a newly installed build server with Visual Studio 2017

I experienced this error using VSTS with an on premise build agent (not using TFS 2017). Things work fine as long as I choose 3.3, but I get this error when I choose nuget 3.5 in the task.
Our build agent ONLY has VS2017 installed.

Experiencing this error on VS2017 hosted agent in VSTS too. When using 3.3 things work fine as brettjacobson noticed too. Maybe an error relating to the image.

Same here with TFS 2017.1 and NuGet 3.5

CoolDadTx picture CoolDadTx on 30 Mar 2017

Same here. I reproduced this with the following steps:

  • Created a new solution (.sln) file
  • Created a new c# web project on .net 4.6.2 (not .net core), selected Empty as the template and included mvc and web api libraries
  • Persisted this to TFS
  • Created a new build from the template with only 2 steps

    • Get sources

    • NuGet restore

The Detailed output from NuGet is this

The same issues seems to be occurring in VSTS as well, when using
NuGet 3.5: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43287078/xamarin-uwp-vsts-nuget-package-restore-fails

lorenpaulsen picture lorenpaulsen on 8 Apr 2017

Same problem here.

tempestive picture tempestive on 13 Apr 2017

There's a dependency between NuGet >=3.5 and Visual Studio 2015, and NuGet >=4.0 and Visual Studio 2017.

We've updated the NuGet Installer task to have a new radio button for NuGet 4.0. Selecting that should fix this issue.

And this is what it looks like in VSTS:
