Problem description:

We did the initial setup for build definition and queued a build. But build failed with an error at MicroFocus.COBOL.targets(644,9).Error looks like build has reached the MF specific targets and fails because of initialization error.

Solution summary: 

To work around this, try to configure the Team build to use the 32 bit version of msbuild by setting “MSBuild Platform”=x86 instead of 64.
