I have been trying to get SQL 2012 SSIS packages built on a TFS2012.2 build system. As has been pointed out by many people the problem is you cannot build SQL SSIS packages with MSBuild.

A number of people asked for the slides, you can find a copy of them here....

I have mentioned in past posts the issues we had doing our first quarterly update for TFS 2012. Well today we had scheduled our upgrade to 2012.2 and I am please to say it all seems to have worked. Unlike the last upgrade, this time we were doing nothing complex such as moving DB tier SQL instances; so it was a straight upgrade of a dual tier TFS 2012.1 instance with the DB being stored on a SQL2012 Availability Group (in previous updates you had to remove the DBs from the availability group for the update, with update 2 this is no longer required)....
