It is designed for MSBuild 16.0, 15.0, 14.0, 12.0, 4.0, 3.5, 2.0. For MSBuild 15+ the command uses the module VSSetup, see PSGallery. If VSSetup is not installed then the default locations are used. VSSetup is required for not default installations. MSBuild 15+ resolution: the latest major version (or absolute if -Latest), then Enterprise, Professional, Community, BuildTools, other products. For MSBuild 2.0-14.0 the information is taken from the registry. .Parameter Version Specifies the required MSBuild version. If it is omitted, empty, or * then the command finds and returns the latest installed version path. The optional suffix x86 tells to use 32-bit MSBuild. Known versions: 16.0, 15.0, 14.0, 12.0, 4.0, 3.5, 2.0 .Parameter Latest Tells to select the latest minor version if there are 2+ products with the same major version. Note that major versions have higher precedence than products regardless of -Latest. .Outputs The full path to MSBuild.exe .Example Resolve-MSBuild 16.0x86 Gets the location of 32-bit MSBuild of Visual Studio 2019. .Link https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/VSSetup #> [OutputType([string])] [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Version, [switch]$Latest ) function Get-MSBuild15Path { [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Version, [string]$Bitness ) if ([System.IntPtr]::Size -eq 4 -or $Bitness -eq 'x86') { "MSBuild\$Version\Bin\MSBuild.exe" } else { "MSBuild\$Version\Bin\amd64\MSBuild.exe" } } function Get-MSBuild15VSSetup { [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Version, [string]$Bitness, [switch]$Latest, [switch]$Prerelease ) if (!(Get-Module VSSetup)) { if (!(Get-Module VSSetup -ListAvailable)) {return} Import-Module VSSetup } $items = @( $v = switch($Version) { '16.0' {'[16.0,17.0)'} '15.0' {'[15.0,16.0)'} default {'[15.0,)'} } Get-VSSetupInstance -Prerelease:$Prerelease | Select-VSSetupInstance -Version $v -Require Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -Product * ) if (!$items) { if (!$Prerelease) { Get-MSBuild15VSSetup $Version $Bitness -Latest:$Latest -Prerelease } return } if ($items.Count -ge 2) { $byVersion = if ($Latest) {{$_.InstallationVersion}} else {{$_.InstallationVersion.Major}} $byProduct = { switch ($_.Product) { Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Enterprise {4} Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Professional {3} Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community {2} Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools {1} default {0} } } $items = $items | Sort-Object $byVersion, $byProduct } $item = $items[-1] if ($item.InstallationVersion.Major -eq 15) { $Version = '15.0' } else { $Version = 'Current' } Join-Path $item.InstallationPath (Get-MSBuild15Path $Version $Bitness) } function Get-MSBuild15Guess { [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Version, [string]$Bitness, [switch]$Latest, [switch]$Prerelease ) if (!($root = ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)})) {$root = $env:ProgramFiles} $folders = $( if ($Prerelease) {'Preview'} elseif ($Version -eq '*') {'2019', '2017'} elseif ($Version -eq '16.0') {'2019'} else {'2017'} ) $items = @( foreach($folder in $folders) { Get-Item -ErrorAction 0 @( "$root\Microsoft Visual Studio\$folder\*\$(Get-MSBuild15Path Current $Bitness)" "$root\Microsoft Visual Studio\$folder\*\$(Get-MSBuild15Path $Version $Bitness)" ) } ) if (!$items) { if (!$Prerelease) { Get-MSBuild15Guess $Version $Bitness -Latest:$Latest -Prerelease } return } if ($items.Count -ge 2) { $byVersion = if ($Latest) {{[version]$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}} else {{([version]$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion).Major}} $byProduct = { switch -Wildcard ($_.FullName) { *\Enterprise\* {4} *\Professional\* {3} *\Community\* {2} *\BuildTools\* {1} default {0} } } $items = $items | Sort-Object $byVersion, $byProduct } $items[-1].FullName } function Get-MSBuild15 { [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Version, [string]$Bitness, [switch]$Latest ) if ($path = Get-MSBuild15VSSetup $Version $Bitness -Latest:$Latest) { $path } else { Get-MSBuild15Guess $Version $Bitness -Latest:$Latest } } function Get-MSBuildOldVersion { [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Version, [string]$Bitness ) if ([System.IntPtr]::Size -eq 8 -and $Bitness -eq 'x86') { $key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\$Version" } else { $key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\$Version" } $rp = [Microsoft.Win32.Registry]::GetValue($key, 'MSBuildToolsPath', '') if ($rp) { Join-Path $rp MSBuild.exe } } function Get-MSBuildOldLatest { [CmdletBinding()] param( [string]$Bitness ) $rp = @(Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions | Sort-Object {[Version]$_.PSChildName}) if ($rp) { Get-MSBuildOldVersion $rp[-1].PSChildName $Bitness } } $ErrorActionPreference = 1 try { if ($Version -match '^(.*?)x86\s*$') { $Version = $matches[1] $Bitness = 'x86' } else { $Bitness = '' } $Version = $Version.Trim() $v16 = [Version]'16.0' $v15 = [Version]'15.0' $vMax = [Version]'9999.0' if (!$Version) {$Version = '*'} $vRequired = if ($Version -eq '*') {$vMax} else {[Version]$Version} if ($vRequired -eq $v16 -or $vRequired -eq $v15) { if ($path = Get-MSBuild15 $Version $Bitness -Latest:$Latest) { return $path } } elseif ($vRequired -lt $v15) { if ($path = Get-MSBuildOldVersion $Version $Bitness) { return $path } } elseif ($vRequired -eq $vMax) { if ($path = Get-MSBuild15 * $Bitness -Latest:$Latest) { return $path } if ($path = Get-MSBuildOldLatest $Bitness) { return $path } } throw 'The specified version is not found.' } catch { Write-Error "Cannot resolve MSBuild $Version : $_" } |
