MSBuild

This page contains reference information for the MSBuild Build Runner fields.

Option	Description
Build File Path	Specify the path to the solution to be built, relative to the Build Checkout Directory. For example: `vs-addin\addin\addin.sln`
Working Directory	Specify the path to the Build Working Directory.
MSBuild version	Select the framework you want to run - either .NET Framework (2.0, 3.5 or 4.0) or Mono xbuild.
MSBuild ToolsVersion	Specify here the version of tools that will be used to compile (equivalent to `/toolsversion:` commandline argument). MSBuild supports compilation to older versions, thus you may set MSBuild version as 4.0 with MSBuild ToolsVersion set to 2.0 to produce .NET 2.0 assemblies while running MSBuild from .NET Framework 4.0. For more information refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb383796(VS.100).aspx
Run platform	From the drop-down list select the desired execution mode on a x64 machine.
Targets	Enter targets separated by spaces. A target is an arbitrary script for your project purposes.
Command line parameters	Specify any additional parameters for `msbuild.exe`
Reduce test failure feedback time	Use the following option to instruct TeamCity to run some tests before others.
