The OutputPath property is not set for project

Question

Building my Jenkins/MSBuild solution gives me this error

c:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\Microsoft.Common.targets(483,9): error : 
The OutputP         


        

Answer 1

I have figured out how it works (without changing sln/csproj properties in VS2013/2015).

1. if you want to build .sln file:
   1. /p:ConfigurationPlatforms=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU"
2. if you want to build .csproj file:
   1. /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=AnyCPU
      1. notice the "Any CPU" vs AnyCPU
3. check the code analysis, fxcop, test coverage(NCover) targets, as well as the MSBUILD should be located properly. In my case its:
   1. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 but it can be different as you can see microsoft has given 6 cmd options to build code base::AMD (with cross plt, x86 & x64 options) and Windows(cross, x86, x64) and that also when code development happened with default JIT (it can be PreJIT ngen.exe, econoJIT)

I think more than this troubleshooting can be handle using power shell + msbuild. May be helpful for someone ...
