Answer 1

You don't need to install any SDK. Just copy the following folder from your development machine into the same folder of your TFS build machine:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5

If this doesn't work for you, refer to: http://getdotnet.azurewebsites.net/target-dotnet-platforms.html where you'll find the SDKs you need. However note the comment from @Lu55: Link to "Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8" from .NET Framework 4.5 section unexpectedly redirects to "Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8.1" which is for .NET Framework 4.5.1.

@dotarj mentions: The link for Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8, which is actually for .NET Framework 4.5, is: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-8-sdk

I was getting the error below on Windows Server 2016

The reference assemblies for framework ".NETFramework, Version=4.6.1" were not found

I went on my build server "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework" and noticed that I didn't have the required versions.

I then Installed the latest .NET Framework version from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
