TeamBuild build error: Unknown ProviderOption:DefiningProjectFullPath. Known ProviderOptions are:skipInvalid

Question

I have a solution created with VS2013 with this projects:

• WebApp (Asp.net mvc5 web app)
• Common (c# library project)

The solution is versioned on server TFS2013.

I Create and edited a build definition for my solution where i want create 2 build using Release and Debug configuration.

I have configured build definition like this article because i want tranform Web.Config

When i add MSBuild this arguments in my Team Build definition:

/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=True /p:PipelineDependsOnBuild=False

Now i have this error:

(PackageUsingManifest target) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.targets(3883,5): error : Web deployment task failed. (Unknown ProviderOption:DefiningProjectFullPath. Known ProviderOptions are:skipInvalid.)

If i remove the MSBuild argument it works.

QUESTION: What's could be configured wrong?

Answer 1

I discovered that on my local machine there was Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 while on the server TFS there was Visual Studio 2013 RTM (no update).

I resolved with a update of Visual Studio 2013 at last version (Update 5) on server where is installed TFS.
