Which version of msbuild?
« on: October 07, 2021, 07:04:50 PM »
I opened a *.sln file and build fails.
MSbuild is not in my system path.
In Slickedit, msbuild appears in the path:
Code: [Select]
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe
So, slickedit must have found these?

My solution is Vs2017 (when I double-click from explorer, thats what I get - even though I have vs2019 also installed).


I have many versions of MSBuild.exe installed

Code: [Select]
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_64\MSBuild\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_64\MSBuild\v4.0_12.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\MSBuild.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\MSBuild\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\MSBuild.exe

As a work around, start a command shell which already has the environment setup for the visual studio version you want to use and start SlickEdit from that shell.
