Create a fake build with TfsCreateBuild tool, Error:TF42073: The value cannot be null (Parameter name: DropLocation)

Hi,<o:p></o:p>

I have been trying to execute automated
tests over a web application, using Microsoft Test Manager and TFS.
The general idea is to run automated tests via TFS.<o:p></o:p>

I have seen a lot of tutorial and guides to do this
but with no success so far.<o:p></o:p>

Because I haven't the need to create builds in
TFS, a used TfsCreateBuild tool to create a fake build, but I get an error:

(Windows console)

D:\Desktop>TfsCreateBuild.exe /collection:"http://< TFS SERVER >/tfs/" /projec
t:"Teste SQA" /buildDefinition:"Build Test Definition" /buildNumber:"FAKE_BUILD_
240620141042" /status:"Succeeded" /flavor:"Debug" /platform:"x86" /target:"defau
lt" /dropLocation:"//<TFS SERVER>/Builds"
TfsCreateBuild Command Line Utility, Version 12.14.527.1

Creates a build entry in Team Foundation Server without running it.

Passed in parameters:

  builddefinition : Build Test Definition
  buildnumber     : FAKE_BUILD_240620141042
  status          : Succeeded
  flavor          : Debug
  platform        : x86
  target          : default
  droplocation    : //< TFS SERVER >//Builds

Connecting to server... done

Creating build...
Error: TF42073: The value cannot be null (Parameter name: DropLocation)
Error log written to: C:\Users\adilson.cabral\AppData\Local\Temp\ExceptionInfo_T
fsCreateBuild.exe.txt

As you can see the droplocation is defined but the
tool say otherwise.<o:p></o:p>

If you have any idea what is the problem, or the
possible problems, please let me know!

And i would be great, if you could give a step by step guide of how to do automated tests over any web aplication using TFS 2013, Mircrosoft Test Manager 2013 and Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 (CodedUI), where the only mandatory tool to use is TFS 2013.

Thank you!
