Solution 1

You need to put all of those dll's on your build machine. Easy way is to use NuGet to manage your packages and configure it to pull down the missing dlls. Or you can manually add them to the build machine.

Solution 2

Configure Nuget to load dependencies during build:

http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/using-nuget-without-committing-packages

Solution 3

I know this is an old question but here is how I got this working.

I followed the instructions from Daniel Miller above: http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/using-nuget-without-committing-packages

I then had to use the simple build file that is mentioned in this link http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/package-restore-with-team-build which simply triggers the package restore beforehand.

All I had to change from the build file was the path to my solution file and the nuget.exe as mine differed.

I then configured TFS to use the build.proj file rather than the solution.

Thanks, I was trying to reference the solution directly, and it was not working. Creating a separate TFSBuild.proj file worked!

@Narayana No problem, I'm pleased it worked for you. I have added it to other questions and people have downvoted it. Worked great for me. :)
