i ran same issue...

it appears yahoo.yui.compressor.dll needs in same directory yahoo.yui.compressor.build.msbuild.dll. same true other dependencies, such ecmascript.net.dll , iesi.collections.dll.

you can either move things \lib\yui\ directory sit down alongside each other, or can reference assemblies in bin folder.

if decide reference assemblies in bin folder, may have utilize post-build event trigger compression, opposed pre-build event.
