InstallShield broke TFS Build

I am getting this error when using VisualStudio.com to build my solution:

C:\a\src\...\Setup\Setup.isproj (30): The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2013Limited\InstallShield.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

One of the projects in my solution is an InstallShield installer project. Am I supposed to remove it? Or is there a way to make it work with TFS Build on the cloud?

InstallShield is not installed on the Hosted Build Services, so you'll have to disable the project for VSO. You don't have to remove it, it's enough to create a new build configuration and untick the "build" option. Then configure the Build to use the "BuildServer|AnyCpu" configuration to build.

If you want to build your project including the installer, you'll need to install your own build agent/controller and install InstallShield on that. Either on an Azure VM or on an on-premise
