When I type...
Msbuild<Enter>
...at the command prompt, I get...
Microsoft (R) Build Engine Version 2.0.50727.4927
[Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0.50727.4927]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2005. All rights reserved.
This is all very well and good except that when I run this against a Visual Studio 2010 .sln file, the error message indicates:
MyProject.sln(2): Solution file error MSB5014: File format version is not recognized. MSBuild can only read solution files between versions 7.0 and 9.0, inclusive.
0 Warning(s)
1 Error(s)
It would appear that the version of MSBuild that is being called, is not capable of understanding my solution file.
I figured that I would check out my path and see where MSBuild is being picked up from. However, it seems that no part of my path points at a location where MSBuild is to be found.
How is the command line finding the copy of MSBuild that it is using and how can I change this version so that the latest version is used?
