install msi on TFS Build Server

Question

I have used TFS API to develop a custom Web Application. When I try to build the Application on the server using TFS Build, I see the build failing since there are no assemblies installed on the Build Server.

I have searched online but couldnt find any. Is there an msi somewhere that I can install on the TFS Build Server which installs all the TFS API assemblies on the build server ?? , instead of installing each and every assembly individually.

Most teams install Visual Studio on the build server for a number of reasons. If you do that it will include the TFS Object Model assemblies.

We already have Visual Studio Ultimate installed on the build server. – CodeNinja Dec 11 '14 at 19:38
Try remoting into the build server, and opening your code in Visual Studio and building it. If you have VS all the assemblies should be there. – Dylan Smith Dec 11 '14 at 20:24
