MSBuild log file location

MSBUILD : error MSB4166: Child node \"2\" exited prematurely. Shutting down. Diagnostic informat         


        

Answer 1

You can run

msbuild /v:diag > c:\log.txt

to force your log file to go to c:\log.txt.

Alternative, you may use /flp:filename=c:\log.txt, more information here.
