"MSBuild is now installed in a folder under each version of Visual Studio." However, I do not want to install a full VS on the server. "MSBuild is now available as part of the .NET Core SDK."
Now that I've installed the .Net Core 2.1 SDK (and the 4.7.2 Framework), what is the path to msbuild.exe?

To install MSBuild on a system that doesn't have Visual Studio, go to Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 on the downloads page. Another way of getting MSBuild is to install the . NET SDK.
Use of the Build Tools require a valid Visual Studio license. If you can use the Visual Studio Community for free, you can also use the Build Tools with a valid free license.
Is it possible to build an application on a system if the MSBuild is not installed? If so, How? Yes, it is actually possible because the MSBuild doesn't depend on the Visual Studio of its operations.
MSBuild is now installed in a folder under each version of Visual Studio. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild. You can also use the following PowerShell module to locate MSBuild: vssetup. powershell.
MSBuild.exe 15 was found after installing the VS Build Tools with no additional packages selected in the install interface.
Edit: Updated link above to go to older downloads. Expand 2017 panel, click Download, login with a Microsoft account, then you will see Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.0) in the list of available downloads.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe
