I needed to install MSBuild separately, then after restarting the agent the variable was there. (From MSDN article) MSBuild is now installed as part of Visual Studio rather than as part of the .NET Framework. The current MSBuild version number is 12.0. If you want to install MSBuild separately, download the installation package from MSBuild … Read more
There was an issue with Visual Studio 2008 which is solved by not embedding the default manifest – one of the comments on that article suggests the problem still exists in Visual Studio 2010. In project properties -> Application tab -> Resources -> checkbox Icon and manifest, the setting “Embed manifest with default settings” caused … Read more

If you’re looking for msbuild, you’ll find that for 4.0 it’s at: For 32-bit: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe For 64-bit: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
PDB is a debug information file used by Visual Studio. These are system DLLs, which you don’t have debug symbols for. Go to Tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols and select checkbox “Microsoft Symbol Servers”, Visual Studio will download PDBs automatically. Or you may just ignore these warnings if you don’t need to see correct call stack in these modules.
There is a simpler fix for the JavaScript debugging issue in IE10: Close IE In elevated cmd prompt run this command: regsvr32.exe “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\msdbg2.dll” (or %ProgramFiles% on a 32-bit OS)
