My solution was to use the VSBuild@1 task and use an old version of Visual Studio, I'm using Visual Studio 2013 but I'm not sure if it's the only one that works. I also set my vmImage pool with windows-2019.

Changing from

vmImage: 'windows-latest'

to

vmImage: 'windows-2019'

worked for me. It used to work earlier because 2019 was latest, now the latest is 2022 and there is issue with that.

my solution was to upgrade any project targeting .Net Framework 4.5 to 4.7.2 and then building on Visual Studio 2019 instead of 2022, same Win Server 2019

I got this issue resolved by downgrading from Visual Studio 2022 to Visual Studio 2014. I uninstalled Visual Studio 2022 and installed Visual Studio 2014, and the rest fell in place. My installation is now up and running.
