Not able to Run Rest Automation Project through Command line

[Raju Ghodake]

Actually Rest Automation Project’s toolsversion is 14.0 and following are the commands to compile and run in visual

Studio 2015 (Projects created in VS 2015 has toolsversion 14.0)

It works fine in VS 2015

Compile

c:\Projects\Genscape\Repository\RestAutomation>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /m project.targets /t:compile /toolsversion:14.0

Run

c:\Projects\Genscape\Repository\RestAutomation>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /m project.targets /t:quick /toolsversion:14.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but when I compile with same command in VS 2017

C:\Projects\Genscape\Repository\restautomation>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /m project.targets /t:compile /toolsversion:14.0

If I changed the toolversion 15.0

C:\Projects\Genscape\Repository\restautomation>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /m project.targets /t:compile /toolsversion:15.0

MSBUILD : error MSB1040: ToolsVersion is not valid. The tools version "15.0" is unrecognized. Available tools versions are "14.0", "4.0".

Switch: 15.0

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally I use following command

C:\Projects\Genscape\Repository\restautomation\src>C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe

C:\Projects\Genscape\Repository\restautomation\src>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe"

It compile successfully . . .

As you can see there are two msbuild versions in my machine

So I am very badly stuck in how to Run Project in VS 2017.
