MSBuild task could not be loaded error

I have this situation, I am using Yahoo Yui Compressor and my MSBuild file contains this line

<UsingTask TaskName="CompressorTask" AssemblyFile="..\Lib\Minification\Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.dll" />

This path that I have specified is relative to where the build script (in which this line exists) is.

I have these files in the Minification folder

EcmaScript.NET.modified.dll New BSD License.txt Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.dll Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.MsBuildTask.dll

I can't figure out if the following error on building is due to

  1. Wrong path being specified
  2. Missing dlls or other files
  3. Some other reason

The error is

C:\Builds\Mcfc\UI\Latest\MCFC\scripts\main.xml(270,5): error MSB4062: The "CompressorTask" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Builds\Mcfc\UI\Latest\MCFC\scripts..\Lib\Minification\Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.dll. Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask. Done Building Project "C:\Builds\Mcfc\UI\Latest\MCFC\scripts\main.xml" (Deploy target(s)) -- FAILED.

Any ideas?

Look closely at the path that is in the error message :-) You are missing a "\" between scripts and the ..

C:\Builds\Mcfc\UI\Latest\MCFC**scripts..**\Lib\Minification\
