"No agent can buld this job", but my remote fits all capabilities

[Antonio Anzivino]

I have a Bamboo installation on a Linux machine and a project in Microsoft .NET to build.

I have successfully set up a remote agent on a Windows box equipped with all Java tooling (so it can run Ant jobs for other projects too) and .NET compilers. The remote agent is up and running. Following is the list of capabilities, auto-detected by Bamboo

Shared capabilities

 

The following 'shared' capabilities are inherited by this agent. Note that the value of a shared capability is overridden by the value of an agent-specific capability with the same key/label (if one exists).

 

No shared capabilities.

Ok, so MSBuild is there. I then created a simple job with a single MSBuild task, but then I end up in "No agents meet this job's requirements".

Interesting to say that I tried to manually add a "Windows" capability (system.os equals Windows)  to the job and still get the same result. I can still see the agent is alive.

 Question is:

How do I remotely build a .NET project on a Bamboo instance which is installed on a Linux box?

Forgot to mention: the build job requires "MSBuild v4.0 (32bit)" which is listed in the above capabilities
