为https://github.com/linqpadless/LinqPadless/blob/master/build.cmd添加vwhere分支，在我的计算机上运行良好，vwhere分支在我伴侣的计算机上运行良好。 也许，vswhere分支应该作为第一个检查向前移动。

您可能认为这里没有太多需要添加的内容，但也许现在是时候在所有版本中使用统一的方式来执行此操作了。我将注册表查询方法(VS2015及以下)与vwhere (VS2017及以上)的使用结合起来，得出了这样的结果:

function Find-MsBuild {
    Write-Host "Using VSWhere to find msbuild..."
    $path = & $vswhere -latest -requires Microsoft.Component.MSBuild -find MSBuild\**\Bin\MSBuild.exe | select-object -first 1

    if (!$path) {
        Write-Host "No results from VSWhere, using registry key query to find msbuild (note this will find pre-VS2017 versions)..."
        $path = Resolve-Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\* |
                    Get-ItemProperty -Name MSBuildToolsPath |
                    sort -Property @{ Expression={ [double]::Parse($_.PSChildName) }; Descending=$true } |
                    select -exp MSBuildToolsPath -First 1 |
                    Join-Path -ChildPath "msbuild.exe"
    }

    if (!$path) {
        throw "Unable to find path to msbuild.exe"
    }

    if (!(Test-Path $path)) {
        throw "Found path to msbuild as $path, but file does not exist there"
    }

    Write-Host "Using MSBuild at $path..."
    return $path
}

如果你想在。net 4中使用MSBuild，那么你可以使用下面的PowerShell命令来获取可执行文件的路径。如果您想要2.0或3.5版本，只需更改$dotNetVersion变量。

要运行可执行文件，您需要在$msbuild变量前面加上&。这将执行变量。

# valid versions are [2.0, 3.5, 4.0]
$dotNetVersion = "4.0"
$regKey = "HKLM:\software\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\$dotNetVersion"
$regProperty = "MSBuildToolsPath"

$msbuildExe = join-path -path (Get-ItemProperty $regKey).$regProperty -childpath "msbuild.exe"

&$msbuildExe

在没有其他工具的情况下，从注册表中批量检索msbuild 15 (Visual Studio 2017)的路径:

set regKey=HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SxS\VS7
set regValue=15.0
for /f "skip=2 tokens=3,*" %%A in ('reg.exe query %regKey% /v %regValue% 2^>nul') do (
    set vs17path=%%A %%B
)
set msbuild15path = %vs17path%\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe

更好的可用工具:

vswhere:定位Visual Studio 2017和更新的安装，参见get msbuild15 path with batch(使用硬编码路径，如上面的代码片段)。 使用Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools安装VisualStudio PowerShell模块

最简单的方法可能是打开PowerShell并进入

dir HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\

有很多正确答案。然而，这里是我在PowerShell中使用的一行程序来确定最新版本的MSBuild路径:

Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\' | 
    Get-ItemProperty -Name MSBuildToolsPath | 
    Sort-Object PSChildName | 
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty MSBuildToolsPath -first 1
