visual studio - Differences between MSBuild v4.0 and VS 2010 Build -


our developers use vs 2010 build locally; however, our ci server uses msbuild v4.0 scripts build code in source.

i'm aware vs uses msbuild behind scenes differences between two, if any?

there aren't differences. however, when install vs 20xx, bunch of dependencies , '.targets' installed you.

when trying mimic on build machine, may have install sdk's or manually move on .targets build work. every blue moon, there .target issue cannot resolved on non vs-installed build machine, drives me nuts , makes me smirk @ microsoft.

here 2 examples memory:

https://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio/feedback/details/580568/ability-to-build-database-projects-using-only-msbuild

do search in folder:

c:\program files (x86)\ 

for

"*.targets" 

and you'll idea of i'm talking (in regards vs installed items)
