基于@dh_cgn答案的一行代码:

(Resolve-Path ([io.path]::结合($ {env: ProgramFiles (x86)},“微软Visual Studio ', '*', '*', ' MSBuild ', '*' , ' 本,msbuild.exe .Path)))

它选择所有现有的路径，例如路径。C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\*\*\MSBuild\* bin\ MSBuild .exe。

通配符星号是:

年份(2017年) visual studio版(社区、专业、企业) 工具版本(15.0)

请注意，此命令将选择与按字母排序的表达式匹配的第一个路径。要缩小范围，只需将通配符替换为特定的元素。年份或工具版本。

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)。

最简单的方法可能是打开PowerShell并进入

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

您可以使用这个非常试用的PowerShell命令从注册表中获取MSBuildToolsPath。

PowerShell(来自注册表)

Resolve-Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\* | 
Get-ItemProperty -Name MSBuildToolsPath

输出

MSBuildToolsPath : C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\amd64\

PSChildName      : 4.0
PSDrive          : HKLM
PSProvider       : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry

或者从文件系统

PowerShell(来自文件系统)

Resolve-Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\*\Bin\amd64\MSBuild.exe"
Resolve-Path "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\*\Bin\MSBuild.exe"

输出
