I was trying out an Azure project and the build failed trying to locate the Azure SDK 2.2 targets. Any chance to get those added to your images?

   Hi Chris,

   Azure SDK 2.2 is there.

   While trying to build Azure Cloud Service project you may get the following (or similar related) error:

   The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\vX.X\Windows Azure Tools\2.X\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets" was not found.
   

   To fix this error on Environment tab of project settings add the following environment variable:

   VisualStudioVersion    12.0
   

   where 12.0 is the version your Visual Studio (VS 2013 - 12.0, VS 2012 - 11.0, VS 2010 - 10.0).

   I added some more details on this page: http://www.appveyor.com/docs2/build-phase

   Let me know how it goes.

   Yes, after looking further into the errors I realized that it was looking under the wrong version of VS for the targets and I added the environment variable and it solved the issue. I am sorry about posting so quickly, I should have done some more looking before I did.

   in the case of VS2013 solutions if you ran MSBuild 12.0 you wouldn't have this issue.

   Of course this is a double edged sward because running MSBuild 12.0 against VS 2012 solutions can cause an invalid TargetFrameworkMonikor error on deploy of the generated webdeploy package.

   Thanks for the update!

   I agree with you the problem is tightly related to selecting correct msbuild for the given VS version. It's clear starting from VS 2013 we should run msbuild 12.0.

   I'm going to continue discussion in your another thread.
