I am trying to pass a simple variable passing,

No parameter

msbuild MySolution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"

Try 1

$buildOptions = '/p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"'
msbuild MySolution.sln + $buildOptions

-> cause MSB1008

Try 2

$command = "msbuild MySolution.sln" + $buildOptions
Invoke-expression $command

-> cause MSB1009

I tried the solution on this post but I think it is a different error.

    Try one of these:

    msbuild MySolution.sln $buildOptions

Start-Process msbuild -ArgumentList MySolution.sln,$buildOptions -NoNewWindow

    By the way, there’s a new feature in PowerShell v3 just for this kind of situations, anything after –% is treated as is, so you’re command will look like:

    msbuild MySolution.sln --% /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"
