I have a .net poject (wpf, excel and asp.net site), I also have a build machine for the purpose of continuous integration. For continuous integration to work, I need to be able to build the project. So, what I have done so far is install visual studio on a build machine and things will build fine, but I dont really have that option, so I was wondering what do I need to run from the visual studio setup, just to be able to build projects, meaning I am pretty sure some of things like f# in this case or MVC frameworks are not something that I need. Is it possible to run a few of the executable or just customize the install and if so what are the mandatory things that I need to select to basically boil down to having a solution be able to build and not have the ide installed? Thanks

MSBuild is the component that builds your solutions. You can have a look at this question to run it with minimal installation:

Installing MSBuild 4.0 without Visual Studio 2010

  • run the install and it is unsuccesfull – AC25 May 28 '14 at 14:21
  • It's hard to tell without knowing the specific reason, but if you manage to complete the installation of SDK successfully, you will be able to run it without installing VS. – henginy May 28 '14 at 14:30
