Has anyone managed to build Xamarin Android apps with VS2017 MSBuild and Jenkins?
On our build machine we can build via the command prompt but when building via Jenkins we get this error.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Common.targets(2371,2):
error MSB4062: The "Xamarin.Android.Tasks.GetAndroidPackageName" task
could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual
Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\Xamarin\Android\Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks.dll.
Method 'get_BuildEngine' in type 'Xamarin.Android.Tasks.AsyncTask'
from assembly 'Xamarin.Android.Build.Tasks, Version=1.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.
Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly
and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a
public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask
We're using a Pipeline script with the following command. The same command works fine with VS2015 MSBuild and Jenkins.
bat "${msbuild15} /consoleloggerparameters:ErrorsOnly /v:quiet
/p:Configuration=ProductionRelease /p:Platform=\"Any CPU\" /t:Rebuild
Field\Product.Android.sln"
GetAndroidPackageName
This task will be failed majorly because your manifest file gets malframed, may be that manifest xml malframed, unncessary charecters might be present.
Remove them And your issue will be solved..

I'm starting to despair. I get the error below on every project I try to build.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error The "NuGet.Build.Tasks.GetReferenceNearestTargetFrameworkTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\NuGet\NuGet.Build.Tasks.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Utilities.v4.0, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
I have already tried any gacutil commands I have found the error and any other suggestions that have come up on google. Also, completely uninstalling via install clean-up from Visual Studio was unsuccessful.
Does anyone have any other ideas about what I could do?
Visual Studio 2022 version 17.4.4.
Thanks
I am new to Xamarin and have created a cross-platform project in Visual Studio 2017.
When I build that project, I am getting the below issue:
Severity: Error
Code: MSB4062
Description: The "Xamarin.Forms.Build.Tasks.XamlGTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Users\E6430\.nuget\packages\xamarin.forms\3.1.0.637273\build\netstandard2.0\Xamarin.Forms.Build.Tasks.dll.

My NuGet is also get coloured with yellow colour.
Try this:
Unload project from the solution
Restart visual studio and open solution
Reload project
Rebuild
If persist:
Just run Visual studio as Administrator!

I work with Visual Studio 2012, and I just switched my deployment tools from NSIS to InstallShield. I've added new projects to my solution for InstallShield installers. When I build in Visual Studio (the IDE) I've no errors, no warnings and I'm happy.
Now, I want to have a script that build the full solution without launching the IDE. But when I run MSBuild in the command line, like that
MSBuild MySolution.sln /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release
I get following error MSB4062
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2012SpringLimited\InstallShield.targets(21,3): error MSB4062: The "Microsoft.Build.Tasks.AssignProjectConfiguration" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
My searches lead me to the conclusion that I must buy the Premier Edition of InstallShield to take profit of ISCmdBuild. But I can't afford it, and I think there might be another solution.
Any idea?
Using Fusion logging the MSBuild checks for the DLL here: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5.DLL.
I copied
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5.dll
to
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5.dll
And the error is gone.
Alternatively open your *.isproj file and change from "3.5" to "4.0" on top on the tag:
<Project ToolsVersion="3.5"...> --> <Project ToolsVersion="4.0" ...>
Another solution is to force MSBuild to use the x86 platform. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/1074699/870604
If you're building from a TFS build, this can be configured from the build options:
I found the solution. Use the command devenv.exe instead of MSBuild.exe. It will be similar to launching Visual Studio and clicking the Build button. That's all!
devenv.exe MySolution.sln /build Release
I am trying to compile some C++/CLI using MSBuild. I am getting an error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppClean.
targets(74,5): error MSB4062: The "CppClean" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
A colleague of mine has fixed this error by installing Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on his machine, but I already have that installed (as well as Visual Studio 2012 with Update 1) yet am getting this error. I have checked the path from the error message, and both the Microsoft.CppClean.targets and Microsoft.Build.CPPTasks.Common.dll files exist.
The CPPClean task appears to be part of the MSBuild tasks specific to Visual C++. Is there any way to get this as a separate installer so that I can repair it, or as part an installer for another set of tools? Failing that, is there another way of fixing this error?
Prompted by Lanorkin's comment, I checked the GAC and the Microsoft.Build.CppTasks.Common.dll assembly was not in there. I added it manually, and it now builds.
I almost have a NAnt script together that will build and deploy VS2010 database projects, but one error stands in my way:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamData\Microsoft.Data.Schema.TSqlTasks.targets(56,5): error MSB4062: The "SqlBuildTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.Data.Schema.Tasks.Sql, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a.

Failed to start MSBuild.
External Program Failed: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe (return code was 1)
I can see that the Microsoft.Data.Schema assemblies are not in the MSIL GAC on the build server - is there any clean way to do this without a full-freight installation of VS2010 on the build server?
For the curious, I asked Barclay Hill at Microsoft who answered this for me:
You can’t build database projects on
machines unless they have VS or TFS
2010 installed on them. It is not a
supported scenario. You can deploy
database project build outputs without
VS/TFS installed using vsdbcmd. The
only way to do this and be in line
with the licensing and support is to
install a local copy of VS Pro or
higher on your build box if not using
TFS.
