Custom MSBuild Task Can't Find System.Memory?

Why is this happening?

Your task is probably on .NET Core, meanwhile you're building with the net472-targeted MSBuild.exe. To fix this: either switch from using MSBuild.exe to using dotnet build, or change the TargetFramework of your task.

The long answer

Workarounds

  • Set the TargetFramework property in your task's project to net472.

OR

  • Use dotnet build <yourproj>, instead of msbuild <yourproj>
