I'm getting the below error being throw upon startup of the Remote Bamboo Agent (5.6.2) I have setup as a service on a Windows 2012 R2 standard server.

On my host I have .Net Framework installed 

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>msbuild /version

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.6.1055.0
[Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.42000]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
4.6.1055.0
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

 

If I check what I think is the source code for this agent

https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/bamboo-dotnet-plugin/src/b8cece6350ee2aad16f19daf65b796620b64da86/src/main/java/com/atlassian/bamboo/plugin/dotnet/msbuild/MsBuildCapabilityDefaultsHelper.java?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default

I'm not entirely clear why this is failing, does anyone have any idea ?

I have exactly the same problem - again 2012 R2 and there is no MSBuild directory present.

Were you able to resolve this problem?

Do you have an empty MSBuild directory in your Program Files x86? I think that's what is confusing Bamboo.

Or maybe your Program Files /MSBuild directory is a junction?

No I don't.

C:\Program Files (x86)>dir /b
AWS SDK for .NET
AWS Tools
Common Files
Internet Explorer
McAfee
Microsoft.NET
Windows Mail
Windows NT
WindowsPowerShell
C:\Program Files (x86)>

The only junction points on the host I can see are those under c:\users and c:\ProgramData
