Where does msbuild go in the program files folder?


Asked by Saige Stokes on Dec 08, 2021 Go



The path of the MSBuild subfolder under the Program Files folder. For a 64-bit machine, this path always points to the Program Files folder. For a 32-bit machine, this path is blank.
Thereof,
The path to MSBuild when installed with Visual Studio is: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild[version]\Bin for x86 and, C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild[version]\Bin\amd64 for x64. The path when BuildTools_Full.exe is installed is the same as when MSBuild is installed with Visual Studio.
Subsequently, The path of the MSBuild subfolder under the \Program Files or \Program Files (x86) folder. The path always points to the 32-bit \Program Files (x86) folder on a 32-bit machine and \Program Files on a 64-bit machine.".
Similarly,
"MSBuild is now installed in a folder under each version of Visual Studio. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild" and "ToolsVersion values are no longer set in the registry" – Hulvej
Next,
You can run MSBuild from Visual Studio, or from the Command Window. In this walkthrough, you create an MSBuild project file using Visual Studio. You edit the project file in Visual Studio, and use the Command Window to build the project and examine the results. The Visual Studio project system is based on MSBuild.
