I am building vdproj with devenv. Command runs without errors, but no output with .msi files is generated, what am I doing wrong?

devenv "C:\Projects\MyProj\Main\Src\MyProj\MyProj.sln" /build "'PRO VERSION|Mixed Platforms'" /project "C:\Projects\MyProj\Main\Src\MyProj\MyProj.Setup\MyProj.Setup.vdproj" /projectconfig "'PRO VERSION|Mixed Platforms'"

I am running it against Visual Studio 14.0/Common7/IDE/devenv

  • I've added a powershell script which is what I use now, it works due to registry key, that was missing before. But if you add it manually, there is a big chance that windows or VS update will overwrite it again (happened to me numerous times) Commented Dec 22, 2017 at 17:35

I was able to make it working by adding the following registry value:

Try { New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\MSBuild\" -Name "EnableOutOfProcBuild" -Value 00000000 -PropertyType DWORD -Force | Out-Null } Catch { $ErrorMessage2 = $_.Exception.Message "ERROR adding 'EnableOutOfProcBuild' registry value, error: $ErrorMessage2" }

and then running following:

$devenv = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv"; $config = "$ConfigurationMode|$Platform"; & $devenv ($SolutionPath, "/project", $SetupProjectPath, "/build", "$config")
