Answer 1

By not installing Visual Studio on your build server, you are violating the license agreement with Microsoft. Although Microsoft themselves might build without installing Visual Studio on their build servers internally, this scenario is definitely not supported officially.

Building without installing Visual Studio is asking for undefined behavior and jeopardizing the integrity of your builds. I would suggest to stay clear from these attempts until Microsoft officially supports this scenario.

Microsoft strongly recommended not to build without installing Visual Studio when we asked as Gold Partner 2 years back as it was not supported in any way officially and there is no license model covering the scenario.
