Okay, some of the documentation is just plain wrong.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397428(v=vs.110).aspx There is no Framework\v4.5.00000, and therefore, there is no ToolsVersion=4.5, instead it appears that everything is looking for a VisualStudioVersion=11.0 http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msbuild/thread/0f6aef3d-9778-4 7fe-a70d-4c9c6bd106e3/ -rb From: G. Richard Bellamy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2012 5:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: .NET 4.5 >From Installing the .NET Framework 4.5 RC <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5a4x27ek(v=vs.110).aspx> : "The .NET Framework 4.5 RC replaces the .NET Framework 4. When you install the .NET Framework 4.5 RC on a system that has the .NET Framework 4 installed, the assemblies are replaced." Also, there is no new entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP (which is gonna play havoc with automated version detection scripts that RELY on these entries being consistent). Therefore, you would think the file in \Framework64\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe would report itself as 4.5. It does not: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>MSBuild /version Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.17626 [Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.17626] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. The versions of the file did change as a result of the upgrade - going from 4.0.30319.1 to 4.0.30319.17626. When reading MSBuild Tool Set (ToolsVersion) <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb383796(v=vs.110).aspx> , it appears that the changes are mostly about tool sets and targets. However, then in Configuring Targets and Tasks <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh264218(v=vs.110).aspx> it says "To build a .NET Framework 4.5 application, you must also have the .NET Framework 4.5 reference assemblies. These are included in Visual Studio 2012 RC." Also, per this <http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-20630> , the TeamCity agent for will not support .NET 4.5 except at the EAP of 7.1. Currently we're at 6.5, and 7.0.4 is the stable release. I've spent some considerable time with this, and I've moved forward, but still don't have a viable build agent for 4.5 on TeamCity. Also, I did try to get msbuild to work in the "4.5" manner without installing VS 2012 RC, and it barked at me stating that it didn't understand the ToolsVersion: D:\Development\Castle.Core\Core>C:\Windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.3031 9\msbuild.exe /m "D:\Development\Castle.Core\Core\buildscripts\Build.proj" /p:Platform="Any CPU" /p:BuildConfigKey=NET45 /p:TargetFrameworkVersion=v4.5 /ToolsVersion:4.5 /property:Configuration=NET45-Release /t:RunAllTests Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.17626 [Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.17626] Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MSBUILD : error MSB1040: ToolsVersion is not valid. The tools version "4.5" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "2.0", "3.5", "4.0". Switch: 4.5 Bottom line: The .NET 4.5 build platform is awaiting a VS 2012 RC installation to see if msbuild will then understand the /tv:4.5 switch. After that it'll be a matter of making the TeamCity BuildAgent understand how to execute the build. I'm thinking I may just be able to re-use the 4.0 Build Runner, since the executable is located in the same place between 4.0 and 4.5. -rb From: G.
