The "TypeScript.Tasks.FindConfigFiles" task could not be loaded from the assembly

Question

After updating the VS 2015 Community edition to Update 2 my ASP.NET Web API project fails to build under different environments with weird TypeScript error.

The project is just a plain Web API with no client scripts or whatsoever.

Error details

The "TypeScript.Tasks.FindConfigFiles" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\TypeScript\TypeScript.tasks.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\TypeScript\TypeScript.tasks.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. 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.

Answer 1

I have same problem, to resolve the problem I just uninstall older version of Typescript (installed with VS2013) and re-install newer version (with VS2015).
