Issue ID: 19690
Summary: Installer fails to register MSBuild extensions for
Visual Studio Build Tools
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: x86
OS: Windows
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: visuald
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The MSBuild ImportBefore/ImportAfter properties and targets are only registered
for full Visual Studio IDE installations and not for Build Tools as they don't
have the same registry entries. Using MSBuild from the command line then fails
to find and compile and D code.
You can work around it by fetching and installing the files yourself but it
makes for a fiddly installation process on CI servers.
