I just had a build fail with the following message:

```
 2) : C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets(95,5): Your project file uses a different version of the TypeScript compiler and tools than is currently installed on this machine. No compiler was found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.4\tsc.exe. You may be able to fix this problem by changing the <TypeScriptToolsVersion> element in your project file.
3) MSB6004: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets(95,5): The specified task executable location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.4\tsc.exe" is invalid.
```

What's the recommended approach for resolving this issue?

Cheers,
Ryan

   Formatted error:

   There is only TS 1.3 on build workers.

   So, you are using TS 1.4 together with VS 2013? How did you install it?

   You can get the VS2013 support here: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/2d42d8dc-e085-45eb-a.... I used that to build in VS2013.

   I see. OK, we could deploy it today.

   Excellent! Thank you! Will this require a config change in our appveyor.yml, or will this just be an addition to the existing image?

   It's been deployed. Let me know how it worked.

    Hi guys,

    I'm experiencing build errors with TypeScript 1.4 projects on Visual Studio 2015 Preview. The build falls over when it encounters union types (which shipped with TS 1.4)

    Did TypeScript 1.4 get deployed to this build worker? (I can switch to a different os if that helps - I can't actually remember why I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Preview)

    That is TS 1.4 that comes together with VS 2015. Try building on newer "Visual Studio 2015 CTP" image or switch to default - there is TS 1.4 for VS 2013 installed.
