SSIS 2005 TFS 2013 tfsbuild questions

Question

I am tasked with building packages with a certain version or label and then deploying them to our production environment.
So, when I try a command line for msbuild, it complained that ssis packages are not supported.  A suggestion was made that I use a blank c# project.
So, now I have this for the project file: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build">
   <PropertyGroup>
      <OutputPath>Bin</OutputPath>
   </PropertyGroup>
   <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
   <Target Name="BeforeBuild">
      <!-- Build the analysis SSIS project -->
      <Exec Command="&quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe&quot; C:\ETL\SSIS\2005\ETFG_Transfer\ETFG_Transfer\ETFG_Transfer.sln /Build Debug /project C:\ETL\SSIS\2005\ETFG_Transfer\ETFG_Transfer\ETFG_Transfer.dtproj"
/>
  </Target>
</Project>
Now I get an error when I issue this command line:
msbuild.exe "C:\ETL\SSIS\2005\ETFG_Transfer\ETFG_Transfer\msbuild_projectfile3.dtproj" /l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile=C:\Temp\ETFG_Transfer_Build.log;verbosity=Diagnostic;encoding=utf-8

Thanks for the help!

Hi Bryan,  
Thanks for your post.
As we know that TFS invoke MSBuild command to build the solution by default. So we need ensure the solution/project can be built successfully using MSBuild command line first.
As this issue which you received is a MSBuild issue, so please post it in
MSBuild forum for the better response.
If your SSIS project can be built using VS(devenv.exe), I think you can custom the build process template to invoke devenv.exe command line to build your SSIS project. Please refer to the answer reply in this
post, and the solution in this article:
