MS Build – “Microsoft.WebApplication.targets” was not found.

This is a stupid error, an oversight by Microsoft. As far as I can tell, you can ONLY install the Web Application pack for vs2005 if you have VS installed – you cant install it on a build server, which is nice and “fun”.

A solution is to just create the directory structure it asks for -

C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\WebApplications\

And copy over the files from your own copy. I don’t know why Microsoft did it this way, but its criminally retarded.

Edit – You can now download the file from here.
