Hi Mark Thanks for your reply.
I have found this issue: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-16452 where you have also discussed this. Given that we run Jenkins as a Windows service, and given that it is not possible to run vcvarsall.bat in conjunction with the MSBuild plugin from Jenkins, I think it is best for us to use a 'Windows batch command' build step in the Jenkins job and call vcvarsall.bat and MSBuild.exe explicitly there. It seems to me that the MSBuild plugin is not very useful because of this.

The system cannot find the file specified. " an indication that you may have failed to call vcvarsall.bat for your specific Visual Studio before starting the Jenkins slave agent on that machine? I thought that Visual Studio used that technique to allow users to install multiple Visual Studio versions on a single machine, and then select which Visual Studio they want to use for a command line compile by invoking the corresponding vcvarsall.bat script for that Visual Studio version. I don't think the MSBuild plugin is the right one to decide which Visual Studio version you want to run, though I guess it could be extended to have some form of list of alternative Visual Studio versions which it should attempt to configure before running the build.

I mean, go to Manage Jenkins--> Configure System , you need to add which version of MSBuild you going to use. Try above and let us know whether it solved your problem or not. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Aldrich Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2013 4:28 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Help needed with MsBuild plugin Hi I have used Jenkins for a long time but am now using the MSBuild plugin for the first time, because we are migrating some build jobs from VC2008 to VC2010. I have added a 'MSBuild installation' in Jenkins with the following path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe In my job, I specify the following MSBuild command line arguments: p:Configuration="My_release" /p:useenv=true /flp:logfile=MyOutput.log;verbosity=diagnostic When I run the job I get this error: error TRK0005: Failed to locate: "CL.exe". The system cannot find the file specified. Visual C++ 2010 is installed on the build machine and CL.exe is definitely present. I guess that MSBuild would typically be executed from a Visual Studio command prompt which would have the environment variables correctly set up. Do I need to configure the path when running the MSBuild plugin from Jenkins? Best regards David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
