How to change MSBuild error message language?

Question

I\'m on a Japanese system and when I run MsBuild.exe to build a Visual Studio project, I get a mix of Japanese and English in the output:

C:\\path\\to\\solut         


        

Answer 1

To change the language of MSBuild's output to English, simply call chcp 850 in the same console before actual call of MSBuild. It changes console's code page and MSBuild uses it.
