Could not find a part of the path … bin\roslyn\csc.exe

I am trying to run Asp.net MVC project retrieved from TFS source control. I have added all assembly references and I am able to build and compile successfully without any error or warning.

But I get the following error in the browser:

Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\B8akWorkspace\B8akProject\B8akSolution\B8AK.Portal\bin\roslyn\csc.exe’.

Here is a full screenshot of the error page.

After few days of research, I understood that Roslyn is .Net compiler platform that offers advance compiling features. However, I do not understand why my build is trying to find \bin\roslyn\csc.exe because I did not configure anything related to Roslyn nor I intend to use Roslyn in my project.

In my case the solution was to re-install/upgrade Nuget packages:

Microsoft.Net.Compilers 1.1.1
Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform 1.0.1
Then I looked into .csproj and made sure that the paths to packages are correct (in my case …\packages*.*) inside tags on top and in with name “EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports” on the bottom. This is on MVC 5 and .NET Framework 4.5.2.

Short answer - run this in the Package Manager Console:

Update-Package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform -r
