Hey Guys,

I’m getting the error above when trying to run an automated build of one of our VB projects.
I’ve been through the build logs and can’t find anything that suggests why it is failing.

It has been set up in the same way as our other automated builds but is the only VB.NET (v3.5) project I’ve set up so far. Anyone seen anything similar/had the same problem?

I’ve tried a bunch of different build configurations with no luck – just the error above and the message TF270015: ‘MSBuild.exe’ returned an unexpected exit code. Expected ‘0’; actual ‘1’ after. Any help will be appreciated!

Edit: Log File

What is the correct strategy for debugging these automated build errors?
Should I log on to the build server and try build the solution in the workspace?

    There are quite a few issues with references. If you take a look at the build log you will see them. Do you have .Net 3.5 installed on the build machine?

    Dependency “Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0,
    Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35”. (TaskId:16)

    get compilation errors. (TaskId:16)
