i installed the VS2017 build tools with vs_buildtools.exe --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools --quiet
but now when I build with the installed MSbuild, passing the /p:DeployOnBuild=true, there seems to be no attempt to do any of the config transformation, aspnet compilation, or deployment that happens when i use the v14.0 tools.
what extra magic incantation do i have to do to make this work?

The DeployOnBuild=true property essentially means "I want to execute an additional target when build completes successfully." The DeployTarget property identifies the name of the target you want to execute when the DeployOnBuild property is equal to true.
You can pass /p:PublishUrl="newpath" to the msbuild command. You would also see this set in the csproj file which you can change.
MSBuild runs the PrepareFilesToList before Hello target. Inside the PrepareFilesToList we create FilesToList item and then it can be used by Hello target. To separate list of targets use ; .
Make sure that you use the proper MSBuild.exe. This: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
Or if IDE (enterprise) installed: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
If configure an MSBUILD step in a TFS server, set the path of the MSBUILD.exe manualy (Advenced/MSBuild/Specify location):
Using this: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
will cause that no deployment package created.
