Unable to build TFS project because files not found

Question

I'm getting an error while trying to build my TFS project

The project file "D:\Binaries\vsts-agent-win7-x64-2.105.7\_work\1\s\CompanyA.Solution\..\..\..\Users\ihalarnkar=\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\CompanyA.Project2\CompanyA.Project2\CompanyA.Project2.csproj" was not found.

I'm also trying to use some external DLLs and for them I'm getting no reference found

The type or namespace name 'Newtonsoft' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Should I put all the DLLs I'm using in the solution on the TFS server. Please help

Answer 1

Your solution reference seems to be causing problems. the project reference should look for the path

..\..\..\Users\ihalarnkar=\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\CompanyA.Project2\CompanyA.Project2\CompanyA.Project2.csproj.

change the references in your project files. that should do it for you.

Answer 2

Please make a folder in solution Nd keep all external DLL. While adding reference please take it from that folder only. Now issue will be solve.
