dotnet/msbuild: The Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) is the build platform for .NET and Visual Studio.

Microsoft.Build (MSBuild)

The Microsoft Build Engine is a platform for building applications. This engine, also known as MSBuild, provides an XML schema for a project file that controls how the build platform processes and builds software. Visual Studio uses MSBuild, but MSBuild can run without Visual Studio. By invoking msbuild.exe on your project or solution file, you can orchestrate and build products in environments where Visual Studio isn't installed.

For more information on MSBuild, see the MSBuild documentation on learn.microsoft.com.

The changelog has detailed information about changes made in different releases.

Building MSBuild with Visual Studio 2022 on Windows

For the full supported experience, you will need to have Visual Studio 2022 or higher.

To get started on Visual Studio 2022:

  1. Install Visual Studio 2022. Select the following Workloads:
  2. Ensure long path support is enabled at the Windows level.
  3. Open a Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 prompt.
  4. Clone the source code: git clone https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild
  5. Run .\build.cmd from the root of the repo to build the code. This also restores packages needed to open the projects in Visual Studio.
  6. Open MSBuild.sln or MSBuild.Dev.slnf in Visual Studio 2022.

This newly-built MSBuild will be located at artifacts\bin\bootstrap\net472\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe. It may not work for all scenarios, including C++ builds.

Building MSBuild in Unix (Mac & Linux)

MSBuild can be run on Unix systems that support .NET Core. Set-up instructions can be viewed on the wiki: Building Testing and Debugging on .Net Core MSBuild

You can turn on localized builds via the /p:LocalizedBuild=true command line argument. For more information on localized builds and how to make contributions to MSBuild's translations, see our localization documentation
