I need to create a script that produces an executable from a C# console

I need to create a script that produces an executable from a C# console project.

The client system where the script will be run doesn’t have Visual Studio, but it has the .NET framework installed. How can it be done using a minimum or no software installation at the client place?

Does the C# compiler (csc.exe) come with .NET framework? If so, is there an environment variable for the location?

    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild "C:\Projects\MyProject.csproj" /p:Configuration=Debug;DeployOnBuild=True;PackageAsSingleFile=False;outdir=C:\Projects\MyProjects\Publish\
