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

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。

@AllenSanborn有一个很棒的powershell版本，但有些人要求只使用批处理脚本进行构建。

这是@bono8106回答的应用版本。

msbuildpath.bat

@echo off

reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\14.0" /v MSBuildToolsPath > nul 2>&1
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto MissingMSBuildRegistry

for /f "skip=2 tokens=2,*" %%A in ('reg.exe query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\14.0" /v MSBuildToolsPath') do SET "MSBUILDDIR=%%B"

IF NOT EXIST "%MSBUILDDIR%" goto MissingMSBuildToolsPath
IF NOT EXIST "%MSBUILDDIR%msbuild.exe" goto MissingMSBuildExe

exit /b 0

goto:eof

对于Visual Studio 2017 / MSBuild 15, Aziz Atif(编写Elmah的人)编写了一个批处理脚本

build.cmd Release Foo.csproj

从MSBuild 2017 (v15)开始，MSBuild现在安装在每个Visual Studio版本下的文件夹中

以下是在我的机器上找到MSBuild.exe的一些例子:

C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe  (v2.0.50727.8745  32-bit)
C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\MSBuild.exe  (v2.0.50727.8745  64-bit)

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

最简单的方法可能是打开PowerShell并进入

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