I have a solution build with VS 2013.
On teamcity I used MSBuild to build it.
Is that possible to launch MSTests with MSBuild?
What if I'll install VS2013 community edition? Will it help to launch MSTests?
Agents for Visual Studio installs all necessary packages.

I am using JetBrains Rider without having Visual Studio installed.
I have installed Visual Studio Build Tools to compile my code.
The NuGet package manager in Rider still doesn't seem to work.
Is there any way to fix that without installing Visual Studio itself?
Please, check your NuGet sources on "Sources" tab in NuGet tool window. Maybe you have disabled nuget.org feed. On "Sources" you can find [Effective NuGet.Config] option it is current state your feeds for your current project.
My computer has Visual Studio 2013 installed.
I tried to compile some source code but it doesn't work.
It is C# language and it uses namespace Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client
When I install VS2010, it compiles well!
I find that the source code use VS2010 Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client's dll file.
How can I solve this problem?
Your application are trying to referencing dlls Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client from the GAC.
One solution is just as you done, install VS 2010 on the development environment and referencing the Microsoft.TeamFoundation dlls from the GAC. VS 2010 installed version 10 of the Team Foundation dlls into the development GAC.
However, this will cause you need to also install VS2010 on the build agent. A better solution is using Nuget Package. These have been moved into a Nuget package.
They're also stored under the "CommonExtensions" folder of your Visual
Studio installation, but these are not meant to be referenced anymore,
that's what the NuGet package is for.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 1x.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer
Take a look at this similar question: Where can I find Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.dll in Visual Studio 2015 installation?
Does anyone know where I can take a look at my project if after I make a build with MSBuild through MSBuild console I get this warning:
MSB4078: The project file 'MyProject.csproj' is not supported by
MSBuild and cannot be built?
My project is running with Target Framework .Net Core 2.0. The MSBuild version I am using is 14.0.25420.1
This is the cs.proj
You are using the new csproj file format (see Project sdk=...)
You will need to use MSBuild 15 in order for it to build. You have two options:
1) Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 and install. Then the path will be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
2) If you have VS installed, the path will be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\<VS Version>\MSBuild\15.0\Bin
Using MSBuild 15 should fix the error.
Please check what version of MSBuild are you running. I tested with the version 15.0, it runs without any error.
Generally, make sure that you have configured a build agent for your team project, and that you have Visual Studio 2017 installed on the agent machine and that you installed the latest Visual Studio update.
Also make sure you have select the MSbuild version 15.0 for the build.
See Build your ASP.NET Core app for details.

I suggest to use MSBuild in more reliable way.
Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 from Visual Studio Downloads page, it includes latest MSBuild 15.* (direct link).
Command-line arguments documented here: Use command-line parameters to install
Visual Studio 2017.
All workloads and components are listed here: Visual Studio Build Tools 2017 component directory.
Use PowerShell module VSSetup to find MSBuild. Download it or install from here: Github: Microsoft/Visual Studio Setup PowerShell Module
Find MS Build
Import-Module $PSScriptRoot\VSSetup\VSSetup.psd1
$msBuildPath = (Get-VSSetupInstance | Select-VSSetupInstance -Version 15.0 -Product Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools).InstallationPath
if ([System.IntPtr]::Size -eq 8)
{
$global:msbuildPath = Join-Path $msBuildPath 'MSBuild\15.0\Bin\amd64'
}
else
{
$global:msbuildPath = Join-Path $msBuildPath 'MSBuild\15.0\Bin'
}
Write-Output "Using MSBuild from $global:msbuildPath"
Write-Output "MSBuild /version"
$msbuild = Join-Path $global:msbuildPath msbuild
& $msbuild /version
I have found loads of refernces to creating a simple setup.exe file in VS by doing the new project - setup wizzard but there is only Enable InstallShield Limited Edition.
I can't install the following for VS 2015, it thinks VS is not installed:
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d
Any advise? I don't want all of the folders and files that come with publishing my application, only setup.exe
Thanks
No other option available for my needs.
Had to uninstall VS 2015 and install VS 2013 to be able to use InstallSheild.
Follow these instructions provided by #Ken White
Creating a setup.exe in InstallShield in Visual Studio
We are using Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.5. we can build our C# projects in build machine by using MSBuild from SDK because we don't have visual studio installed on the build machine.
Now we are trying to build the Setup project with similar settings. It looks like the MSBuild doesn't like .vDProj. any idea how can we do that?
thanks,
EDIT:
the build machine only has SDK installed, no Visual Studio installed, no other thirdparty build tool installed.
Install Visual Studio on the Build machine.
