MSBuild 12.0 -- this is now distributed as a separate package, instead of being included with the dot-net framework
Windows 2012
Jenkins MSBuild Plugin 1.21
Description
The installation location for the new MSBuild release has a space in the path.
If I put quotes around the path to MSBuild in system configuration ("C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe"), this error occurs:
FATAL: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" doesn't exist
Build step 'Build a Visual Studio project or solution using MSBuild' marked build as failure
Without quotes in the system configuration, but with a command-line parameter that includes quotes (/p:Platform="Mixed Platforms"), this happens:
Path To MSBuild.exe: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe
Executing the command cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" "/p:Platform=Mixed Platforms" src/Build.proj && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%% from C:\jenkins\workspace\wintest
[wintest] $ cmd.exe /C "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" "/p:Platform=Mixed Platforms" src/Build.proj && exit %%ERRORLEVEL%%
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

added a comment - What worked for me was using the short path. E.G.
C:\PROGRA~2\MSBuild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe
(Use the DOS command "dir /X" to verify this name on your platform, it just 'might' be different)

added a comment - I had also this problem.
Changing
if (!launcher.isUnix())
to
if (!launcher.isUnix())
resolved the problem for me.
This add additional quotes to the command line, so that the all parameters acts as a single Parameter for 'cmd /C'.

Changing
if (!launcher.isUnix())
{
args.prepend("cmd.exe", "/C");
args.add("&&", "exit", "%%ERRORLEVEL%%");
}
to
if (!launcher.isUnix())
{
args.prepend("cmd.exe", "/C", "\"");
args.add("\"", "&&", "exit", "%%ERRORLEVEL%%");
}
resolved the problem for me.

added a comment - As a work arround, you can setup the PATH environment variable to add the path to MSBuild. Then, in the project configuration, select the Default MSBuild version.
