tfs - MSTest Crashing While Publishing Results -

our tfs 2013 server , build server resides on 2 different machines, same domain. build server has visual studio installed on it. when force build, goes fine except mstest fails next error :

tf270015: 'mstest.exe' returned unexpected exit code. expected '0'; actual '255'. see build logs more details.

the event log shows me next error,

faulting application name: mstest.exe, version: 12.0.21005.1, time stamp: 0x524fbee4 faulting module name: clr.dll, version: 4.0.30319.34014, time stamp: 0x52e0b784 exception code: 0xc0000005 fault offset: 0x0001bc37 faulting process id: 0xafc faulting application start time: 0x01cf8efc8557a612 faulting application path: c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 12.0\common7\ide\mstest.exe faulting module path: c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\clr.dll study id: c510b7a4-faef-11e3-80d0-0026b9534e01 faulting bundle total name: faulting package-relative application id:

the diagnostics shows me tests passed , mstest failed @ publishing-the-results-to-tfs stage :

that's crashes.

i have tried pretty much everything, including,

giving permission tfsbuild , tfsservice accounts on builddrops folder.

clearing tfs cache on server , client machine.

installing vs 2013 sp1.

anyone has thought might issue here ?

i had mstest.exe crash on publishing today when using tfs2013.3 on server visual studio 2013 rtm build on build server. installing vs2013.3 on build server fixed problem me.
