Support for MSBuild 15 #229

Closed dusk0r closed 7 years ago

dusk0r commented 7 years ago

MSBuild doesn't write a registry key into HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild. On my machine it's installed into the V2017 directory: %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin

See https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues/1377

Could you please add and manually test this heuristic here? https://github.com/Albacore/albacore/blob/master/lib/albacore/task_types/find_msbuild_versions.rb

dusk0r commented 7 years ago

Yes. But that path is not fixed, it's just the default installation path. And there are three versions of VS2017 (Community, Professional and Enterprise). Each with a slightly different path.

How should we handle this? Just assume the default installation path?

You could always put it on path. But yes, list as many paths as you may find to the professional/ultimate/community editions and place them in the heuristic function; it's good enough – if it's not then you could always use the PATH env var.
