Answer 1

You can find the DLL for 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Workflow in c:\\program files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\\Common7\\IDE\\CommonExtensions\\Microsoft\\TeamFoundation\\Team Explorer .

Please check if the version matches with the one you have. If the version matches, clean project, restart your tfs server (to clear cache) and build again. If the version doesnt match, use the correct version (14.0.0.0) and clean project, restart your tfs server (to clear cache) and build again.

Answer 2

This seems to be a client side environment issue. Have a try with below solution came from this similar question: "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build, Version=14.0.0.0" after switching to VS 2017

Install the Microsoft Build Tools 2015 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159

Besides also try to clear TFS cache , which may do the trick.

If all above still not work, please also upgrade your visual studio version to the latest of VS2017.
