TFS build does not apply the value of $(VSInstallDir) macros

I have a build-machine and I have made simple changes recently to run editbin.exe tool with LARGEADDRESSAWARE parameter right after each building. The tool is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin (of course, the path can be another). And I have added new target to the build.proj file:

<Exec command="&quot;$(VSInstallDir)\VC\bin\editbin.exe&quot; /LARGEADDRESSAWARE &quot;Manager.exe&quot;"/>

If I run MS Build locally on the build machine it works properly. Good! But after any checkin build is not able to be completed with the following error: The command ""\VC\bin\editbin.exe"" exited with code 3. As I understand TFS build does not apply the value of $(VSInstallDir) macros (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\ in my case). Any suggesting?

To resolve the problem I did the next: In VS build config: Process->Build process parameters->5. Advances->MSBuild arguments added /p:VSInstallDir = Value
