Command Line Error with Msbuild

Question

Hi there

We have Vb2005 solution for which we do the build on the IDE. So when we open the solution and select build, the build functionality works fine. Although when you open a command prompt and type msbuild <solution name>.sln, i get a strange message saying msbuild is not recognised as an internal or external command

any idea?

Hi,

MSBuild.exe is obviously not part of your PATH variable and can therefore not be found. Either add it to the PATH variable or use the fully qualified path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe" or "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe".
