How do I call Visual Studio 2017 RC's version of MSBuild from a BAT file?

Question

Earlier versions of MSBuild could be found here: %programfiles(x86)%\\msbuild\\\\bin\\msbuild.exe.

But for Visual Studio 2017RC the path

Answer 1

Simplest way...

• Install the Build Tools https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=15

• Profit; the build tools will install to a separate location thats standard across everywhere you install it regardless of your VS SKU (professional / enterprise / community all install to different paths)
• New location C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\msbuild.exe
