Metaproj are not created on build server

Question

We have two computers/servers with the same settings used to build our software. Our first computer was set up in 2011 and by now is old, run extremely slow and need to be replaced. We have set up a new computer
with the same settings to replace our old build server.
The servers are Windows 7, 32-bit as we are building VB6 components. We have some components in VB.Net with framework 3.5. At the moment it is not an option to upgrade these components, it will be done in a year, but not now. We
are using TFS 2010 to do our builds.
On our new build server we cannot build a web service. It works fine on our old server.
I have compared the log files and found out that the new server do not make a metaproj file in the build process. I can see in the log from our old server that as the metaproj file is running, the files that are missing in our new
build are built.
I have tried to set the parameter DeployOnBuild to True as I do the build, but it do not work.
As I start a new build, I use the same process and the same code is built. I only change the build controller to use.
How can I get the new server produce a metaproj file? Or could it be something completely different that I am missing?
I’ll be happy to send more information and answer all your questions. 
This is a passage from our log. The green part shows the part only in our old log and the text FAILED are only in the new log.

Hi Paul,   
Thanks for your post.
You’re using the default TFS 2010 build process template in your build definition to build solution?
As we know that TFS 2010 invoke MSBuild(v4.0) command line to build solution on build agent machine by default. Please logon your build new build agent machine, then manually execute the same MSBuild command line(which be execute in your TFS build log) to
build your solution  and check the result, ensure your solution can be built as expect on build agent machine manually.
