We are using Nuget Installer step that restores the missing nuget packages in TFS build, this step fails with the following error:
E:\Builds\_tasks\NuGetInstaller_333b11bd-d341-40d9-afcf-b32d5ce6f23b\0.2.29\node_modules\nuget-task-common\NuGet\3.3.0\NuGet.exe restore -NonInteractive E:\Builds\test.sln
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '3.5' from 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5'.
Error parsing solution file at E:\Builds\test.sln: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)
Error: E:\Builds\Agent2017Update1_tasks\NuGetInstaller_333b11bd-d341-40d9-afcf-b32d5ce6f23b\0.2.29\node_modules\nuget-task-common\NuGet\3.3.0\NuGet.exe failed with return code: 1
Packages failed to install
The error message seems to be confusing as the file specified is present on build agent.
TFS build agent version:2.112.0
TFS version: TFS 2017 update 1
In the Advanced options change the version to 3.5 for NuGet. I've been having weird issues the last 2 weeks where 3.3 would do similar to what you are experiencing and switching to 3.5 works as expected.
Hope this works for you as well =D
This seems to be due to the fact that the msbuild.exe in your path (your build agent) is version 3.5. MSBuild 3.5 does not have two .dll's that nuget are attempting to load dynamically (Microsoft.Build.dll and Microsoft.Build.Framework.dll).
A solution to fix this issue, please make sure NuGet.exe uses MSBuild
4.0 or higher. This can be done by making sure MSBuild 4.0 or higher is the first to resolve in your path or by passing the -msbuildversion
option. For example, use MSBuild 14.0 (which shipped with Visual
Studio 2015).
nuget.exe pack MyProj.csproj -msbuildversion 14.0
More details please refer this similar issue nuget pack fails when MSBuild version resolved to MSBuild 3.5

When I build .NET Standard 2.0 Library on Jenkins build server
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.302\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(198,5): error : Assets file 'C:\Jenkins\workspace\<Project>\Sources\Library\obj\project.assets.json' not found. Run a NuGet package restore to generate this file. [C:\Jenkins\workspace\<Project>\Sources\Library\Library.csproj]
I got an error above in build log.
I searched about error and I found solution
However, when running:
dotnet restore <Solution Name>
the solution does not help me out when I clean my workspace before build starts.
Therefore, I insert command before MSBuild but I failed with
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.302\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(198,5): error : Package Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces, version 2.8.0 was not found. It might have been deleted since NuGet restore. Otherwise, NuGet restore might have only partially completed, which might have been due to maximum path length restrictions. [C:\Jenkins\workspace\<Project>\Sources\Web\Web.csproj]
According to Solution reference, maybe upgrade Nuget Package Installer could help me out. But I do not know how can I upgrade Nuget Package Installer by command line...
I had the same problem, getting the same error:
error : Package <package> was not found. It might have been deleted since NuGet restore. Otherwise, NuGet restore might have only partially completed, which might have been due to maximum path length restrictions. [<path>]
I was able to solve it using MSBuild /t:restore instead of dotnet restore.
See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/reference/msbuild-targets#restore-target
UPDATE: It's worth mentioning that problems in Jenkins are discussed in depth in this other answer.
The hint by #Mat didn't work for me: the /t:restore is currently not able to restore nuget packages for projects using package.config, as I mention here. What worked for me is the following:
call "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
nuget restore CodeBinder.sln
MSBuild Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU" /t:build /restore
pause
It basically requires to download the nuget CLI from official site[1], Windows x86 Commandline section. The switch /restore , as pointed here, fixed the partially completed Nuget restore error, similarly to MSBuild /t:restore, but it can be done in conjunction with /t:build.

When I build my .NET Solution in Jenkins and try to restore NuGet packages before the actual MSBuild step I'm getting this error:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.300\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(198,5): error : Package JetBrains.Annotations, version 11.1.0 was not found. It might have been deleted since NuGet restore. Otherwise, NuGet restore might have only partially completed, which might have been due to maximum path length restrictions. [PATHLENGHT = 86]
I'm using MSBuild 15 and NuGet Windows x86 Commandline nuget.exe v4.7.0
Any ideas?
Cheers
Since this was a .Net Standard Project, i need to add this command to make it a successful build:
/t:restore
Packaging a build use Nuget Packager in VSTS and i get the error:
[error]'Newtonsoft.Json' already has a dependency defined for 'NETStandard.Library'.
Most of the hints that solves this involves updating nuget, but since I am building on Team Services I can't really do this.
It seems that the nuget used by nuget packager is not the latest. After testing locally with latest nuget.exe everything worked so I added a new powershell release step. This solution is appropriate for VSTS, for TFS where you have access to the server I recommend upgrading nuget.exe on the server itself:
This script downloads nuget.exe into the artifacts directory (and outputs the path to the nuget.exe so you can see where it is put.).
I then altered the Nuget Packager build step to use the freshly downloaded nuget.exe.
Had the same issue today.
Using your own build agent
If you are using your own build agents (rather than the hosted agent) you can manually update the version of NuGet to the latest version. In my case, this has resolved my problems.
e.g. C:\agent\externals\nuget\nuget.exe
Using the hosted agent
It's a bit messy but you could just upload the latest nuget.exe into the repo and set the NuGet Packager to use this.
To anyone getting this in 2018, Microsoft have created a new version of the NuGet task that fixes this issue. No need for powershell install steps.
Change the NuGet task version in your build step version to 2.*
This caused some breaking changes for me, that I resolved with the following advanced settings
Nuget Restore
Nuget Pack
Nuget push
I added a new project to the solution. I've added some nuget packages however it fails when building on TFS. It works fine when building locally. I get the following error messages:
C:\Builds\8\Server-Dev-CI\src\.nuget\NuGet.targets (58): The schema version of 'xunit.core' is incompatible with version 2.0.30828.5 of NuGet. Please upgrade NuGet to the latest version from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=213942.

When I open the sources in VS2013 (on the build server) I see the following:
I have to click Restore Packages to get it to work.
I already updated NuGet. Where is it getting " 2.0.30828.5 of NuGet" from???
I figured it out. The whole time I though TFS uses Visual Studio's NuGet, however it turns out TFS runs:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Tools\nuget.exe restore
I had to open up console and update nuget:
nuget.exe update -self
I am using TFS 2015 trail version in windows server 2012.I created windows service project in visual studio community edition along with WiX Project to package the windows service. If i build the solution from visual studio, I am able to get the MSI. But if i use Visual studio build in TFS 2015,i get the following error.
"Unexpected exit code received from msbuild.exe: 1" and "Task VSBuild
failed. This caused the job to fail. Look at the logs for the task for
more details."
I refered the below links as reference :
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/msbuild/wix_with_team_build.html-
http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/msbuild/daily_builds.html
1) I am unable to follow the first link steps as i got struck in step 2:
i am unable to find configuration folder in build definition.
I was reading that we do not have TFSBuild.proj straing from TFS version 2010.
"Right-click on the Build Definition and select View Configuration
Folder." "Check out and open the file named TFSBuild.proj."
2)I am unable to follow second link as well. I am getting below error:
"The imported project "C:\wix\3.8\Wix.targets" was not found. Confirm
that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the
file exists on disk."
since I am new to TFS Build 2015, any help or guidance will be appreciated.
Beginning with NuGet 2.7, the NuGet Visual Studio extension integrates into Visual Studio's build events and restores missing packages when a build begins. This feature is enabled by default. If you are using NuGet to install Wix packages, that's why you can get a successful build from visual studio.
If you want to use NuGet to install Wix packages, you can create one build.proj to restore these packages during build. Check: http://docs.nuget.org/consume/package-restore/team-build
If you don't use NuGet to install Wix packages, a traditional way you can refer to:http://edwinfrey.com/blog/2012/06/11/building-wix-msis-in-tfs-preview/
