TFS2015 vNext build fail with logger error (error message attached below). From my investigation, looks like this is related to CentralLogger - "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.DistributedTask.MSBuild.Logger.dll" , when I run the command line build manually without the centrallogger, it works.
Any idea how to solve the issue?
CentralLogger parameter in vNext build: msbuild.exe /fl /nologo /dl:CentralLogger,C:\TFSAgent\Agent\Worker\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.DistributedTask.MSBuild.Logger.dll*ForwardingLogger,C:\TFSAgent\Agent\Worker\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.DistributedTask.MSBuild.Logger.dll

We solved the issues by building solutions separately. We had a sub-solution called by the main solution, the sub-solution throw some warnings, and seems the TFS logger throw the exception on that.
