Symptoms

When you use a 64-bit version of MSBuild (for example, C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe) to build a BizTalk project, the build process fails with an error that resembles the following:

Build FAILED.
"C:\Users\superuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\BizTalk1\BizTalk1.sln" (default target) (1) ->
"C:\Users\superuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\BizTalk1\BizTalk1\BizTalk1.btproj" (default target) (2) ->(CoreCompile target) ->
CSC : error CS2001: Source file 'C:\Users\superuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\BizTalk1\BizTalk1\Schema1.xsd.cs' could not be found [C:\Users\superuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\BizTalk1\BizTalk1\BizTalk1.btproj]

When you use a 32-bit version of MSBuild (for example, C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe), the build process works as expected.

Cause

This problem is caused by a limitation in the current versions of BizTalk 2013 and BizTalk 2010.

Workaround

To work around this problem, use a 32-bit version of MSBuild.
