How do I make a build system for Sublime Text 2 to build msbuild?

Question

I would like to use Sublime Text 2 to build my Visual Studio 2010 solutions.

So far I have this:

Menu item Tools > Build System > New Build System...

{     "cmd": ["c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe"] } 

I get this error:

MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The current working directory does not contain a project or solution file.

I'm wondering how I specify a project folder directory in the build file.

I got it to work by modifying the build system file C:\Users\dave\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\User\msbuild.sublime-build like this:

{     "cmd": ["c:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe"],     "working_dir": "${project_path:${folder:${file_path}}}" } 

I looked at an existing build configuration that shipped with Sublime to figure it out:

C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 2\Packages\Makefile\Make.sublime-build
