      How do I configure the MSBuild action to compile C# code built with Visual Studio 2015?
      When I build with BuildMaster, I see errors like error CS1056: Unexpected character '$' which I would expect, because the $"string {interpolation}" syntax along with other new C# 6 features are not recognized in older versions of MSBuild.

      Product: BuildMaster
      Version: 4.8.1

        Most BuildMaster actions that appear through extensibility run in the context of selected Extension Configuration Profiles.

        To configure one, visiting the Administration > Extensibility > BuildMaster Extensions > Windows SDK page, create a new profile and use the following value to use MSBuild Tools Version 14 (x86 in this case) which is required to build C# 6 / .NET 4.6 applications:

        MSBuild tools path: C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin

        If this path does not exist, ensure that you have installed Visual Studio 2015 on your build agent server (or the BuildMaster server itself if you're not building on an agent).

          You don't have to install Visual Studio 2015 on the buidlserver.
          Install MS Build Tools 2015 will do it.
