BTDF support for BizTalk 2016 - ItemDefinitionGroup Error

You get the error " The element <ItemDefinitionGroup> beneath element <Project> is unrecognized."
when trying to use the sample scripts to set up automated deployment for a BizTalk 2016 application using BTDF. In one way this is a good thing as you're probably one step away from success.

It's an easy fix. the issue is in the BTDF suggested script in the line "%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe"... The sample script by default targets MSBuild for the .Net 2.0 framework and BTS 2016 needs MSBuild targeting the .Net 4 framework.

Change the line to "%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" to target MSBuild from the .Net 4 framework and the problem dissolves.
