Cannot open TFS build process template with built-in Community extensions in VS2012 using dummy project trick with reference

I am trying to open a TFS build process template file ( DefaultTemplate.11.1.xaml) that includes actions from Community TFS Build Extensions . I follow the instructions here , the section "Get custom actions in Visual Studio. I had no problems with this in the RC version of Visual Studio 2012, but now, after upgrading to the release version, an attempt to open the file fails:

System.Xaml.XamlException: 'Type' InArgument (mtbwa: BuildSettings) of the property 'BuildSettings cannot be resolved.'

TFS does not seem to have a problem starting a build based on this template.

I can open the file without a trick, but, of course, user actions are not displayed correctly.

"if the Visual Studio class library project that you used to control the editing of the process template was aimed at .NET 4.5, it should have been 4.0. Well, with RTM in Visual Studio 2012 this is no longer the case, in fact it's the other way around" .

I really don't think this is a great answer, but I don't have enough comments for comments ...

  • Build actions in xaml file equal None?

  • RTM VS 2012, xaml "", , , . , , ( VS 2010, VS 11), PresentationCore PresentationFramework. , , .
