I'm building and developing on a windows 2008 R2 Enterprise server box
The same project on windows 7 builds fine.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Did a compare with the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1 libraries from one box to other and seems some were missing on server. sync'd them and we seem ok now. V strange as clean install.

Am using visual studio 2015 but whenever i begin a new ion ionic2 project an error
MSB3644 The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0" were not found.
To resolve this, install the SDK or Targeting Pack for
this framework version or retarget your application to a version of the framework for
which you have the SDK or Targeting Pack installed. Note that assemblies will be resolved
from the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and will be used in place of reference assemblies.
Therefore your assembly may not be correctly targeted for the framework you intend.
After a research on the error i found out This link and This link but am using windows 10 on a 32 bit computer with program files folder and without the program filesx86 folder
Am not using any server and also a newbie to visual studio
I have also checked and
C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0. is there
I also found out you need to add
msbuild -p:FrameworkPathOverride="C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.
But am not sure where am supposed to add it
Can someone help me on this issue
But am not sure where am supposed to add it
Please run "Msbuild Command Prompt for VS2015"
Go to the folder of project
run the msbuild command
msbuild -p:FrameworkPathOverride="C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0"
When i build current project for wp8 , everything works fine. When i build for windows8 i get following error :

was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is
correct, an d that the file exists on disk.
I have spend a couple of hours searching for solution on the internet but to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas ???
I have been troubleshooting the same issue, but I am building for Windows 7. However, when I searched, I found this, which is specific to Windows 8, and may be the key to your answer.
Found at http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=570925:
On that page under Visual Studio it states: "You will also need to install a version of Microsoft Visual Studio ... that supports Windows Store Javascript app creation.."
and
its Visual Studio Express for Windows 8. I had installed Visual Studio Express for Desktop which is not suitable.
In my case, the problem was that the project had VS 12.0 coded as a variable into the jsproj file while I was using VS 14.0 (VS2015). Changing the "12.0" to "14.0" fixed it for me, once I saved changes, closed and reopened the project
.
I recently migrated my VSTO Add in projects from "VS2008 and office 2007" to "VS2013 and office 2013", Changes took place as below settings.
.Net Framework version from 3.5 to 4.5(While upgrading project).
I have added VSTO 2013 PIA assemblies to reference.
That's it, when i tried to compile i have faced below MSBuild errors.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets(268,13): error MSB4064: The "TargetFrameworkVersion" parameter is not supported by the "SignFile" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets(264,9): error MSB4063: The "SignFile" task could not be initialized with its input parameters.
and i have tried to find solutions over the internet but couldn't find much, Any Solutions for this problem will be helpful.
The problem was not the MSBuild, **
i have updated visual studio update 3 to update 4
and started working like charm.
I think Microsoft guys have moved something around from Update 3 to update 4 but this has been reported several times in many forums and i don't know why they have not mentioned it but this is one effective solution.
I ran into this issue. The problem is that Update 3 of Visual Studio 2013 moved some things around, so you need to use the MSBuild that is now installed with Visual Studio 2013 (or the standalone build tools for build servers). You need to make sure that you're using the correct MSBuild (currently at C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin), and it should work.

This is still not working as of Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
I had to actually modify the C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\OfficeTools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Office.targets file and remove the TargetFrameworkVersion attribute from the SignFile task.
I can't seem to find System.Windows.Controls.Pivot.dll anywhere in the sdk folders. Does anyone know the whereabouts of this file? I'm trying to reference it so that I can add it Visual Studio Toolbox for use in my silverlight 5 (RC) test project.
the files should be in Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v5.0\Libraries\Client.. be sure to have the latest RC installed as the first beta didn't include the pivotviewer.
I'm working on a .NET Compact Framework 3.5 app. I have an automated build machine that does not have Visual Studio installed, and all has been fine.
I'm trying to a a new solution containing control projects that have DesignTimeAttributes.xmta files. MsBuild on the build machine is failing with cannot find file, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin\genasm.exe.
I've tried manually adding this directory and it's contents from my dev box to the build machine, but now I'm getting
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.CompactFramework.Common.targets(67,9): error : genasm.exe(1) : error There was an error reading arguments. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CompactFramework.Build.Tasks, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Done executing task "BuildAsmmeta" -- FAILED.
Before I struggle further with this, I thought I'd ask if anyone else out there has gotten a CompactFramework project with design time attributes building on a machine without Visual Studio?
Filburt: I've already installed the Windows SDK, the .NET SDK, and the CF SDK. I realize now that "all has been fine" in the original question doesn't make that clear.
None of the SDK's installed anything into the Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 directory.
I've given up and installed VS at this point, but thanks for the answer.
You think need to install the Windows .NET Framework SDK on your build machine to obtain the tools that come with Visual Studio.
update
Since you stated you installed all SDKs you could check %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin\SetEnv.cmd for any quirks in the PATH settings. I discovered some inconsistencies there for an x64 environment.
