Question

I’m trying to run msbuild in Jenkins.
When it reaches the UniTest-Project an error occures:

Project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\***\workspace\***.sln" (1) is building "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\jobs\***\workspace\***.unitTests\***.unitTests.csproj" (4) on node 0 (default targets).
Project file contains ToolsVersion="4.0", which is not supported by this version of MSBuild. Treating the project as if it had ToolsVersion="3.5".

Any suggestions what the problem could be? Running ms build from the command works for the solution and without any additional parameters when the project was compiles in VS bevor. After a clean solution the same errors occur. Must be some parameter or reference problem; Line two talks bout v4 and v3.5 problems; but i can’t figure out how to solve this.

Answer 1

Error info directly shows that you use incorrect version of MSBuild

This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.

Try to rebuild with MSBuild 4.0

 C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe *.sln /t:rebuild

OR/AND from VS2010 Command Line.
