MSBUILDEMITSOLUTION not working with .NET 4?

Question

In prior versions of MSBuild, you could set an environment variable named MSBUILDEMITSOLUTION to 1 to get an XML version of a solution (.sln) file that could be parsed. Acco

Answer 1

Set MSBuildEmitSolution=1 and then build from the command line. You should then see a MySolution.sln.metaproj file near MySolution.sln.

Notes:

• If you open a command prompt window, then set the env var via System Settings, you will have to open a new command prompt.
• You'd think you could also use msbuild /p:MSBuildEmitSolution=1, but you can't.
