Thank you for the information and screenshot.
Alas, it did not work for me with the same error about missed task.
Our pipeline is in YAML. Did you do anything else except specifying task as in your example? Do you have administrative permissions in DevOps/for your pipeline?
I noted that you have installExecutor property set to false... Did you uninstalled Adapter before running the pipeline or the task handled roll-back itself?
As some background, hopefully the below helps, the YAML example further down is effectively what we're using as a workaround, to use the prior DevOps task version and latest TestExecute version.
We're running the pipeline on a Windows build agent pool (a VMSS in Azure), those VMs are built using a VM image with TestExecute preinstalled (v15.53.2 in this case), hence our installExecutor and updateExecutor being set to false.
This pool is setup in DevOps with the interactive tests option enabled, this option forces the need to preinstall TestExecute, as the build agent user runs unelevated so can't install/update - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/scale-set-agents?view=azure-devops#create-the-scale-set-agent-pool
Anonymised example of one of the stages in the pipeline, I've added comments where tasks removed or info randomised.
stages:
