你也可以把MSBuild.exe的路径打印到命令行:

reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0" /v MSBuildToolsPath

翻了翻登记表，看起来

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\2.0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\3.5
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0

也许是你想要的;打开regedit.exe，看一看。

通过命令行查询(由Nikolay Botev提供)

reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0" /v MSBuildToolsPath

通过PowerShell查询(每个MovGP0)

dir HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\

为https://github.com/linqpadless/LinqPadless/blob/master/build.cmd添加vwhere分支，在我的计算机上运行良好，vwhere分支在我伴侣的计算机上运行良好。 也许，vswhere分支应该作为第一个检查向前移动。

您可能认为这里没有太多需要添加的内容，但也许现在是时候在所有版本中使用统一的方式来执行此操作了。我将注册表查询方法(VS2015及以下)与vwhere (VS2017及以上)的使用结合起来，得出了这样的结果:

function Find-MsBuild {
    Write-Host "Using VSWhere to find msbuild..."
    $path = & $vswhere -latest -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -find MSBuild\**\Bin\MSBuild.exe | select-object -first 1

    if (!$path) {
        Write-Host "No results from VSWhere, using registry key query to find msbuild (note this will find pre-VS2017 versions)..."
        $path = Resolve-Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\* |
                    Get-ItemProperty -Name MSBuildToolsPath |
                    sort -Property @{ Expression={ [double]::Parse($_.PSChildName) }; Descending=$true } |
                    select -exp MSBuildToolsPath -First 1 |
                    Join-Path -ChildPath "msbuild.exe"
    }

    if (!$path) {
        throw "Unable to find path to msbuild.exe"
    }

    if (!(Test-Path $path)) {
        throw "Found path to msbuild as $path, but file does not exist there"
    }

    Write-Host "Using MSBuild at $path..."
    return $path
}

查找MSBuild的说明:

PowerShell: &"${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe" -latest -prerelease -products * - required Microsoft. component .MSBuild -find MSBuild\**\Bin\MSBuild.exe CMD: "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe" -latest -pre - release -products * - required Microsoft. component .MSBuild -find MSBuild\**\Bin\MSBuild.exe

查找VSTest的说明:

PowerShell: &"${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft VisualStudio \Installer\ vvswhere .exe" -latest -pre - release -products * -需要Microsoft. visualstudio . packagegroup . testtools . core -查找Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe CMD: "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft VisualStudio \Installer\ vvswhere .exe" -latest -pre - release -products * - required Microsoft. visualstudio . packagegroup . testtools . core -find Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe

(请注意，上面的说明与微软的官方说明略有不同。特别地，我已经包含了-pre - release标志来允许预览和RC安装，以及-products *来检测Visual Studio Build Tools安装。)

这只花了两年多的时间，但最终在2019年，微软听取了我们的意见，并为我们提供了一种找到这些重要可执行文件的方法!如果你安装了Visual Studio 2017和/或2019,vwhere实用程序可以查询MSBuild等的位置。由于vswhere被Microsoft保证位于%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe，因此不再需要引导和路径硬编码。

神奇的是-find形参，它是在2.6.2版本中添加的。您可以通过运行vwhere或检查其文件属性来确定已安装的版本。如果您有较旧的版本，您可以下载最新的版本并覆盖现有的%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe。

Vswhere.exe是一个独立的可执行文件，因此您可以从任何有互联网连接的地方下载并运行它。这意味着您的构建脚本可以检查它们所运行的环境是否设置正确(举个例子)。

如果你已经安装了Chocolatey，你也可以使用相关的vwhere包。

对于Visual Studio 2017，在不知道确切版本的情况下，你可以在批处理脚本中使用:

FOR /F "tokens=* USEBACKQ" %%F IN (`where /r "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2017" msbuild.exe ^| findstr /v /i "amd64"`) DO (SET msbuildpath=%%F)

findstr命令将忽略某些msbuild可执行文件(在本例中为amd64)。
