Build cannot find entity structure

When I create my project in TFS, it cannot find the essence of fraemwork, but when I look in the folder, it is;

I get these error messages;

And so on. What do I need to do to fix this?

It looks like your build server is not automatically loading NuGet packages. I assume you are using NuGet since the assembly is looking for a dependency in the packages folder.

I would look through some of the following articles:

Check the NTFS permissions for the account you use for the assembly controller. To fix the problem, try logging into your build machine using the account for the build controller and see if you can find these paths and create your own build manually.
