Devenv.Com is designed for use for batch automation; Devenv.Exe is how the
interactive IDE is launched.
From MSDN:
The devenv.com utility provides for the delivery of output through standard
system streams, such as stdout and stderr, and determines the appropriate I/O
redirection when it captures output, for example, to a .txt file.
I never tried to automate Visual Studio 2005, so it’s possible that using
devenv.EXE worked just fine for that version; for later versions, it doesn’t.
One last thought: Deployment projects are deprecated in Visual Studio 2010 -
and they’re not supported at all by Visual Studio 2012. I’d suggest that you
add some tasks to your product backlog (or equivalent) to migrate away from
.vdproj projects (I’d recommend moving to WiX); once that’s complete, you’ll be
able to move the rest of your builds to MSBuild and leverage it’s speed and
reliability.
Cheers,
Bevan.

Hi Bevan,
Looks like devenv.com resolved thee issue.
Befor i posted this issue, i used this devenv.com as a last try to resolv the
issue.
Your reply on the same confirmed it more n gave me more confidence on the fix.
What i m not sure is devenv failed always, but devenv.com resolved. Any idea
here?
Thank yu so much

As I recall (it's been a while), devenv.exe is what you run for an interactive
session, devenv.com for batch processing.
Some background. If you don't specify an extension, the shell looks for
possible programs to run by trying various extensions. I #think# it uses this
order: bat, cmd, exe, com. So specifying "devenv" works just like "devenv.exe".
Keep smiling
Bevan

Hi Bevan,
Thank you for the quick response.
I was using just devenv. Later changed to devenv.exe. Same failure results.
You want me to try devenv.com?
We are not using MSbuild, since we have one setup project(deployment project).
Kind regards,
Bhavani Kapparmath.

Two suggestions.
Firstly, are you executing devenv.com or devenv.exe ? When I have needed to use
the last resort of executing VS directly, using devenv.com has been far more
reliable than devenv.exe.
Secondly, have you considered using MSBuild? Unless you’re doing something not
supported by MSBuild (like a .vdproj msi deployment project), MSBuild can be a
more reliable choice.
Hope this helps,
Bevan.

Hello All,
We are facing issue with building VS2010 from NAnt. Below are the details:
• We migrated our project from Visual studio 2005 to Visual studio 2010.
• Post migration, we are seeing build issue in the build server
machine. Details are below.
• Win 7 Professional SP1 versioned OS build machine is setup with
Cruise control and NAnt script for automated builds with devenv.
• Building with VS 2010 causes a number of projects to start but do not
finish.
The only message appears in the log ( which is generated by /log switch of
devenv command) is :
----Rebuild All started:Project:DWRAPPER, Configuration:BuildWithPortalSVC Win
32-
----Rebuild All started:Project:XYZ, Configuration:BuildWithPortalSVC Win 32---
• Count of project failure like above is not the same for every build.
• Building the project(solution file) in IDE is fine and also from the
Command line with devenv.
• Here is the command in Nant.
