v12.0 folder not found in MSBuild

Question

I am setting up Jenkins with MSBuild. I was getting the below error while building through jenkins

MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" was not found

So I downloaded and installed the MSBuild from the below URL.

But it's does not contain v12.0 folder . What should i need to do here ?

Answer 1

You need to install the Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Isolated) package from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/isolated-shell/ to get the C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets file to build your project.
