I'm not sure if this was intentional or not.  The TFSVersion task is not present in the 1.4.0.61 compiled package available on NuGet.  However when I downloaded the source, the files for the task are included, they just aren't part of the solution.  I added these files and recompiled and TFSVersion seems to work fine now.  Is there a reason the task was removed but the source code was left in the download?

Yeah, I just send a message to the package owner on nuget with the same remark.

I've branched the official version and made TfsVersion available again. It now also works against newer TFS versions.

Hi,
I'm newbie here on Visual Studio/NuGet/packages, etc.
If anyone can point to any errors/mistakes I'm making, that will be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to use MSBuildTasks on VS 2013... I've downloaded it using the NuGet Package Manager but getting the same initial error on this thread - TfsVersion task was not found.

I run Install-Package MsbuildTask on package manager and it says is already installed. (v. 1.4.0.88)
The files (MSBuild.Community.tasks.dll and MSBuild.Community.Tasks.targets) were on my $(SolutionDir)\.build instead of c:\Program Files(x86)\MSBuild\12\bin 
I tried manually copying the files back to msbuild bin folder, but still no success..

Here's the snipped from my msbuild:
 <PropertyGroup>
    <MSBuildCommunityTasksPath>$(SolutionDir)\.build</MSBuildCommunityTasksPath>
  </PropertyGroup> 
  <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)\.build\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>

thanks,
Marcelo.
