TFS 2015 Visual Studio Test Test Assembly multiple paths

Using TFS 2015 Build ... I understand how wildcards work and I've read the formatting documentation, but I don't get expected results when using them in the Test Assembly field of the Visual Studio Test step.

Individually each of these paths work but when placed together with a semicolon I get the error: "The given path’s format is not supported." $(build.sourcesDirectory)\v7.25_Core**\MySystems.Xmts.Test\bin**\MySystems.Xmts.Test.dll; $(build.sourcesDirectory)\v7.25_Core**\MySystems.Xmts.WinForms.Test\bin**\MySystems.Xmts.WinForms.Test.dll

Again, each work individually. Together with a semicolon they should work together but I get an error. What am I missing?

Documentation says it should work: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/steps/test/visual-studio-test

This is also of interest regarding wildcards: https://blogs.infosupport.com/tfs2015-build-tasks-the-wildcard-format-explained/#comment-124376

It looks like this is a known bug and is solved with TFS2015 UPDATE 3. "VsTest task fails if full path of 2 DLLs are given separated by semicolon."

Change the $(build.sourcesDirectory) to **, you'll get rid of this error:

**\v7.25_Core**\MySystems.Xmts.Test\bin**\MySystems.Xmts.Test.dll; **\v7.25_Core**\MySystems.Xmts.WinForms.Test\bin**\MySystems.Xmts.WinForms.Test.dll
