Recently installed (and re-installed) VS 2012 Ultimate with Blend

The VS Command Prompt doesn’t seem to have a reference (are they called environment pathways) to the folder “C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\”. This means the following lines won’t run from the command prompt (either as normal or as administrator)

  • msbuild buildapp.csproj /t:HelloWorld
  • Installutil WindowsService1.exe

To use msbuild or Installutil I need to specify the full pathways for the above to run.

Is the above a by design change that MS have made to VS?

    In my VS 2012 environment I can find the path you say is missing. I opened the “Developer Command Prompt for VS2012” and did PATH to verify and also ran InstallUtil.exe successfully.

    Make sure you open the correct prompt, mine was started using %comspec% /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
