Why Microsoft Build Tools 2013 not creating v12 folder on test server? - visual-studio-2013

I am currently installing Microsoft Build Tools 2013 .
I expect a folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0.
Why it is not getting created or my expectation is wrong?

Error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\BizTalk\BizTalkC.targets"

I am part of doing BizTalk server 2013 R2 CI and CD using VSTS. I am getting below error
"Error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\BizTalk\BizTalkC.targets" was not found.
Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that
the file exists on disk."
I have installed agent locally also. I am using BTDF5.6, VS2013, BizTalk 2013r2.
Please advise.
Building a BizTalk solution on a build server requires that you install the build components on the build server using the BizTalk product installer. You need to get the BizTalk 2013 R2 install media on the build server, run the installer, and check the Project Build Component.
(Do not check the other components shown as checked in the screenshot -- it was taken on a BizTalk dev machine.)

CodedUI Build issue with TFS 2015

When I try to use the TFS 2015 Build process to deploy the Test Agent, I am receiving the following error:
‘The running command stopped because the preference variable
“ErrorActionPreference” or common parameter is set to Stop: Cannot
find path ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\Ide\DTAExecutionHost.exe.config’ because it does not exist.’
I have Visual Studio Professional 2015 Edition installed on D drive and using TFS 2015 Test agent is getting installed on C drive.
As VS2015 Professional is installed on D driver so “DTAExecutionHost.exe.config” exists in D driver.
Is there any means by which we can configure Test Agent on D driver using TFS 2015 as I cannot uninstall VS2015 Professional on server.
There is no such setting to configure Test Agent on D Driver in step Visual Studio Test Agent Deployment.

Task could not find "AL.exe" TFS 2013

I'm using Windows 7 SP1 and Visual studio Ultimate 2013. TFS server 2013 is installed in Windows Server 2008.
Below error occurred while trying to build one solution which supports multilingual resx files:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\amd64\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets
(3001): Task could not find "AL.exe" using the SdkToolsPath "" or the
registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\WinSDK-NetFx40Tools-x86". Make sure the
SdkToolsPath is set and the tool exists in the correct processor
specific location under the SdkToolsPath and that the Microsoft
Windows SDK is installed
I have gone through similar questions, but those solutions didn't work. Few are given below:
Install Windows SDK
Windows SDK is already installed
al.exe is present in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools
al.exe is present in \Windows\v7.0A\bin and v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools
Remove resx files and build
Resx files are part of the project and I want them to be in my build.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks for your comments. I installed Windows SDK in server machine, where TFS is installed. It solved my problem.

error MSB4019: Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found

I created a project using Visual Studio 2010 and trying to create the build in TFS 2013. I am getting the following error. Target Framework is 4.0. Why my build server is looking for Visual Studio 12.0 folder? How to change this settings? I appreciate any suggestions.
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found
Copy the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0" from development machine to the build machine.

You need to do one of the following:
Change the build configuration to use 2010
Install VS 2013 on the build server.
I would recommend upgrading your visual studio anyway as you are already 2 versions behind with CTP's already available for DEV14,..

Build failed for TFS 2013 from Visual Studio 2010

I am trying to create a build from VS 2010 for TFS 2013. I am getting the following error message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\TeamData\Microsoft.Data.Schema.SqlTasks.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Do I have to install VS 2010 on the TFS server?
Yes you should install VS 2010 on the build server. It can live side-by-side with other versions (so you could have VS 2010 + VS 2012 + VS 2013 all installed on your build server if you wished).
