Visual Studio build successful, MSBuild fails

Question

I am trying to clean and rebuild a solution file with multiple projects from the command line using MSBUILD. For some reason my build fails (about 10% of the built projects fail

Answer 1

For me the problem was that the some projects in the solution were not included in the build configuration for the solution. Those projects were dependencies for the projects in the build configuration, so all the projects in the solution failed.

After marking the dependcies projects with build in the solution configuration the msbuild ran successfully.
