Missing MSBuild\..\Microsoft.Data.Entity.targets

When I try to build the solution in VS, I get this error:

error : The project file could not be loaded. Root element is missing. >C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Data.Entity.targets

Microsoft.Data.Entity.targets file is there when browsed using file manager. None of the projects are getting loaded.

I tried importing Microsoft.Data.Entity.targets to csproj files as well (mimicking <Import Project="$(MSBuildBinPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />). As most of the other info found on web, there's no .user file either.

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

Solution

  • Had to uninstall .NET Framework and run Visual Studio Repair tool to get it back on board.
