How can i build a solution with config release on x64 ?

Question

User1253338400 posted

I am trying to do the following 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" C:\projects\test.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="x64"

but it gives error 

The specified solution configuration "Release|x64" is invalid.
Please specify a valid solution configuration using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU")

any reason why i cant do the above settings from compiling from command line ?

thanks

I tested your command, it works fine in my side.

please check your Configuration Manager. Is there X64 in your activity solution platform?

This is my configuration:

Hi robby32,

I dont have the x64 option

You can select the "new" command to create a x64 platform.

I dont want to do in AnyCPU, specifically x64 . Is that possible ?

C:\projects\test.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="x64"

Here you have specified Platform = "x64", why don't you want to do in "x64"?

Best regards,
