Problem building projects using MSBuild 14 #184

Closed wallymathieu closed 7 years ago

wallymathieu commented 9 years ago

When building a project that uses c# 6 features we had some trouble due to the msbuild version chosen by albacore to be msbuild 12. This could be due to the new location of msbuild 14. C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\Msbuild

@wallymathieu This should have been solved by https://github.com/Albacore/albacore/pull/171 – could you contact the people in that thread, please?

wallymathieu commented 9 years ago

It looks like two problems:

When the registry keys are unordered, the algorithm used picks the wrong one (see #185 ).
When using github for windows it looks like I've got msbuld 12 in path, so then it uses that one.

I see; you should change your path imo; that's the gold standard for finding things. But your PR solved the first issue, and that's good!

wallymathieu commented 9 years ago

I agree, probably it's due the github shell pulling in more things in path than it should.

wallymathieu commented 9 years ago

I've sent github a notice about the issue with their tool

Lets close this issue, since it's not related to albacore anyway.
