Today while scouring the MSDN forums I found something interesting. If you choose "Any CPU" as your platform in your "TFSBuild.proj" file, solution files will build correctly:
... <ItemGroup> <SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../project.sln"> <Targets>Publish</Targets> <Properties></Properties> </SolutionToBuild> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Release|Any CPU"> <FlavorToBuild>Release</FlavorToBuild> <PlatformToBuild>Any CPU</PlatformToBuild> </ConfigurationToBuild> </ItemGroup> ...
The problem is that I tried to publish a solution and for some reason it didn't work. Actually, the reason was that I had references in my solution to non-publishable projects. So it made sense then to just publish the project within the solution. When I replaced the solution file with my VB Project file in the "SolutionToBuild" element, I got errors saying that the location of my executable couldn't be found. I followed the suggestions on MSDN and changed my platform to x86. After making the change I was able to build both solution and project files:
... <ItemGroup> <SolutionToBuild Include="$(BuildProjectFolderPath)/../../project.vbproj"> <Targets>Publish</Targets> <Properties></Properties> </SolutionToBuild> </ItemGroup> <ItemGroup> <ConfigurationToBuild Include="Release|x86"> <FlavorToBuild>Release</FlavorToBuild> <PlatformToBuild>x86</PlatformToBuild> </ConfigurationToBuild> </ItemGroup> ...
