Bamboo随机运行不同版本的msbuild.exe并生成失败

Question

I use Bamboo to build my SSDT database solution using VS2012. The problem began when I added database unit test project to the solution. It is random that sometimes build fails with message:

error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Bamboo always runs msbuilds from this location: C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe

I noticed that whenever build fails the msbuild.exe output is this:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.18408

[Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.18449]

but when build succeed then output is this:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.34209

[Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.34209]

I don't know where is it taking version 4.0.30319.18408 from. I searched whole disk for msbuild.exe and executed everyone and none of them has version 4.0.30319.18408.

I need an advice how to force Bamboo to run correct version of msbuild.exe or how to uninstall version 4.0.30319.18408.

Components on the build machine are following:

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack                        4.0.30319

Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools Build Utilities - enu (11.1.40403.0)   11.1.40403.0  

There is no msbuild in the PATH.

EDIT: Components list is scripted with PowerShell. I just noticed that actual list in Programs and Features is shorter. There is only one Visual Studio 2012 Professional.

Answer 1

I modified Bamboo task not to call msbuild executable but to run such script:

    ECHO Setting variables
    CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"

    ECHO Starting msbuild.exe
    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe .\SVN_CHECKOUT\Databases\Databases.sln /fileLoggerParameters:LogFile=".\msbuild.log.txt" /p:Configuration=Release /consoleloggerparameters:ErrorsOnly;Verbosity=quiet;Summary /m

So far it works.
