Thanks Remco for contacting me and clarifying that this is NOT an issue with .NET 4.5.1.

Hi Varun –
I’m following up on a contact request posted on the NCrunch support forum around a compatibility issue between NCrunch and .NET 4.5.1:
http://forum.ncrunch.net...-assembly.aspx#post4468
After looking into the issue on the side of NCrunch, I was able to conclude that this is not a problem with the .NET framework. NCrunch was making assumptions about the ToolsVersion specified in the build script. These assumptions turned out to be incorrect under VS2013 (where the ToolsVersion was changed). The result was that it was trying to build projects with the wrong version of the .NET framework. The problem has since been resolved.
I very much appreciate the effort taken to approach me directly on this – it really shows strong commitment from the side of Microsoft towards .NET framework compability .. which I applaud!
