Visual Studio 2019 XAML queue build to TFS 2015 failing

Question

The last developer had been deploying our Intranet MVC project from VS2019 for years, using a method of XAML queue build up to TFS2015.

However after a recent VS update to 16.10.3 (from 16.1.3) - the queue build is now failing (see attached pic). It can't find all the config files (even though I can see them in the solution explorer).

I'm yet to determine if it was the VS update that killed it, or some other MS monthly patching (possibly on the TFS server itself).

As I'm very inexperienced in .NET MVC coding (in fact in VS), can anyone spot an obvious reason this is failing?

Traditionally the VS queue build function would complete in <1min, then the zipped up package could be located on the TFS\drops folder, and imported into IIS on the web server.

I'm in the process of restoring the VM to a point prior to the VS update (~65 days ago), and to a time when the Intranet solution was last published successfully.

Method to copy local code to Devops:

http://raaviblog.com/how-to-push-project-code-from-local-machine-into-azure-devops-git-repo/

1. git init
2. git remote add origin <replace the URL of Azure Git Repo copied earlier>

*if you get an error "fatal: remote origin already exists" - you can run: git remote set-url origin .…then continue to step 3. This alternative command replaces Step 2.

3. git add .
4. git commit -m “New project added”
5. git push -u origin master
