Q: 

mstest failing to start...

The run.mstest command is inititated but the following error message displays. No logs are generated nor are any tests run, but the build is reported as successful.

 [exec] 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe' failed to start.

What does this mean?

A: 

You'll need to find more information. Can you open up a Visual Studio Command Prompt and run your 'mstest' against your test assembly to see what output you get?
