Edit build definition error message

I get this error every time I try to edit a build definition under Visual Studio 2010. I would get the following message "There were 0 failures, 6 errors and 0 warnings loading custom activities and services." in an info dialog box, and the following in the Output window for "Build - Team Foundation"

Summary: There were 0 failures, 6 errors and 0 warnings loading custom activities and services.

Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Scripting, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

How do I prevent these error messages from showing every time I edit a build definition?

Is your located build-agent on a different physical machine? If yes (I suppose it): It's common to create a central team-project containing all possible dependencies which will not be installed or reachable on the build-server. Then you can use the option "Version control path to custom assemblies" in the build-controller-definition in the TFS Admin to get access to a TFS-folder containing those elements.
