Could not load file or assembly while configuring Build vNext Agent

When trying to configure a Build vNext agent I keep running into the following exception.

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'VsoAgent, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A) ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)

I already tried disabling strong name verification using "sn -Vr *,*" as sugested here: http://nakedalm.com/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-while-configuring-build-vnext-agent/

But that does not solve the error. I tried the same on VM's with Visual Studio 2013, 2015 CTP5 & 2015 CTP6.

I followed this guide to configure the Build.vNext agent

EDIT: Some more info.

I'm trying to configure this on a VM in Azure. I've tried the default Visual Studio Templates from the Gallery. Which means VM's with Server 2012 R2.

After downloading the latest version of the VSoAgent.zip file the problem went away. It seems to have been fixed in a newer release of the Agent.

Did you "unlock" the .zip file before unpacking it?

On some OS's, specifically Windows 10, I had to right click on the downloaded zip and click "unlock" before unpacking.

If you then run the .\ConfigureAgent.ps1 it should work.
