### Steps to reproduce

Just building the code on our new build controller that has VS 2017 build tools installed, but not the Visual Studio.
I have the binary log for the build (62MB)

### Expected behavior

No MSB3305

### Actual behavior

MSB3305 with empty COM reference "" in the message

### Environment data

Can I extract it from the binary log?

How do I upload the binary log to you?
