Why does the deployment package from my buildserver have additional assemblies?

.net visual-studio-2010 teamcity

I've got an asp.net mvc deployment package that I'm trying to build with team city. The package builds without any problems, but the bin folder contains file that are not needed (and cause the site to fail when present).

If I build the same package from visual studio the additional files are not present.

The additional files are:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Activities.Compiler.dll
mscorlib.dll
normidna.nlp
normnfc.nlp
normnfd.nlp
normnfkc.nlp
normnfkd.nlp
System.Data.dll
System.Data.OracleClient.dll
System.EnterpriseServices.dll
System.EnterpriseServices.Wrapper.dll
System.Transactions.dll

What can I do to prevent these additional assemblies and .nlp files from being included in the package?

UPDATE

After a bit more digging through log files I've found that the _CopyFilesMarkedCopyLocal build task is copying the files into the bin directory. The odd thing is that the assemblies are not marked as copy local.

After a bunch more digging around I noticed that the build server had the .Net framework on, but not the framework SDK. After installing the SDK on the build server the additional assemblies were no longer added.
