The MSIX Packaging task can only use the version of MSBuild that you have installed in your agent. So first you need to ensure that MSBuild 17.0 is installed.
Then, you need to point the packaging task to it. There is an input for choosing which version of MSBuild to use. You can set the msbuildLocationMethod
to version
(automatically find MSBuild by version; this is the default) and then set msbuildVersion
to an appropriate version. We currently don't have 17.0 here, but I think latest
should work. If that doesn't work, you can change msbuildLocationMethod
to location
and then set msbuildLocation
manually.
On our side, we do need to update the MSBuild location logic to accept 17.0 as input, but this shouldn't block you as you can set the path manually.
Thanks,
I found out later that you can set the path explicitly.
I can confirm that latest
will only return MSBuild 16.0
When manually referencing the msbuild version ( 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe') the packaged msix does not contain any of the package references e.g.
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK" Version="[1.0.0]">
<IncludeAssets>build</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Windows.SDK.BuildTools" Version="[10.0.22000.194]">
<IncludeAssets>build</IncludeAssets>
</PackageReference>
msbuildVersion: '17.0'
also doesn't work, but this does:
msbuildLocationMethod: location
msbuildLocation: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\Msbuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe'
Will the task be updated at some point?

Describe the bug Please allow MsBuild 17.0 to be used so we can use .Net 6 in our pipelines
