'Microsoft.VisualStudio..Default.props" was not found

I've been searching around but what I got is something like

The imported project "C:...\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found,
instead of 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Microsoft.VisualStudio..Default.props" was not found.". See the diff, the former is "Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" while my error is Microsoft.VisualStudio..Default.props. Here's the full error log:

Check whether Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props is available in the following location of your jenkins server

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\TypeScript

And if not try to copy it from your local machine (if it is available in your local machine and your jenkins in a separate server) and create the required folder structure

OR

Add this conditional import statement in the project file

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props"
             Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props')" />

I got the MSB4019 error because I did not have write permissions on C.

Executing the command with admin privileges helped in my case, but changing read/write permissions on C for your Windows user account should also work.

Other options are listed in this thread.
