MSBuild error when creating a build definition in TFS 2013

Question

I am trying to create a build definition so that I can publish the changes that I have made from my database project to SQL server. Whenever I queue new build, I always get this error:

Exception Message: MSBuild error 1 has ended this build. You can find more specific information about the cause of this error in above messages. (type BuildProcessTerminateException)
Exception Stack Trace:    at System.Activities.Statements.Throw.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
   at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)
   at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)

When I create my build, its more likely the defaults I did not change any configurations specially in the Process section. When I check the drop folder as well, this is the error log:

I used to have the same experience. There's something stucked the build. And it's also not work for any others build definition.

For my situation, finally reinstall the build agent. The issued solved.
