Build project with Microsoft.Build API

Question

I\'m trying to build a project using the classes in Microsoft.Build.

The code is:

var project = new ProjectInstance(CS_PROJ_FILE);
project.Build();
<         


        

Answer 1

I hit the same error after I installed:

Install-Package Microsoft.Build -Version 15.1.1012

But then I installed:

Install-Package Microsoft.Build.Utilities.Core -Version 15.1.1012

And things started working.

A little confusing...
