How to fix '“CheckAttributes” task could not be loaded'-error after installing Visual Studio 2013 Update 4

Question

After installing Update 4, I now find myself unable to build (or even clean) any solution. I keep getting:

Error 1 The \"CheckPathAttributes\" task coul

Answer 1

Found the solution via this

TransformXml task could not be loaded from Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.dll

In my case, I had Visual Studio 2012 installed on an E: drive already, so I found a copy of Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks in

E:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\Web

So I copied that file, and Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform to here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web

and now all is well :)
