Answer 1

Jenkins | Manage Jenkins | Configure System

scroll down to the MSBuild section and click MSBuild installations

define the full path to msbuild.exe, on my system I have 3.5 and v4.0.30319

Note - specify the path to 32-bit tools even on a 64-bit system, otherwise you might get an error message:

Building Windows Phone application using MSBuild 64 bit is not supported.

So in Jenkins - it could be for example:

Name: Version 3.5

Path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe

Name: Version 4.0

Path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSbuild.exe
