Have made some progress with our new Win 7 VS2008 Team System build server, by installing Sql Server 2008 express instead of SSE 2005. The next hurdle is that we are using VS2008 and our team project file imports the MSBuild extension pack for Sql Server 2005, which it seems will not work with Win 7 and Sql Server 2008. So instead we have installed the MSBuild extension pack dated October 2012, to the default path. Our build now fails at the off because the import cannot find "$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\ExtensionPack\MSBuild.ExtensionPack.tasks".
And I can't find it either!
Is this a version mismatch (in which case how to we get out of this hole) or am I being silly? The only files I can find are $(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\ExtensionPack\MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Tfs2010.dll, which doesn't look right to me. The installed MSBuild Extension Pack help file doesn't cover this sort of thing, as far as I can tell, so I am at a loss.
TIA
Try replacing $(MSBuildExtensionPath) with $(MSBuildExtensionPath32) to make sure the Program Files (x86) directory can be found.
