MSBUILD .NET v4 teamcity

Question

I have installed TeamCity Professional 8.1.3 (build 30101) onto a clean box and I am trying to run a new build. I have copied over the msbuild tools from my local dev machine to the new server and placed them in the x86 folder. I have also installed the IIS web role, .net feature, registered IIS from the cmd line, and installed MSBUILD tools 2013. For some reason, I still am unable to compile anything. I get the following error

SGEN An attempt was made to load an assembly with an incorrect format: C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.Net\\assembly\\GAC_64\\System.Data\\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\\System.Data.dll.

Is anyone familiar with this error? I am trying to build an app in .NET v4 using msbuild tools v4.

Answer 1

I was getting this error building a project that targeted .NET Framework 4.5.1. I resolved the issue by installing Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Developer Pack

You can get the SDK (aka Targeting Pack, aks Developer Pack) for other versions you may want to target at .NET SDKs and Downloads

Answer 2

The solution was installing VS2012 on my build machine. This may not be the most efficient, but it beats installing small packages and chasing around things that need to be registers in the GAC.
