I want to read xml file with MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile command. I had used below xml file.

<List>
    <ListItem>
        <Name>Announcements</Name>
    </ListItem>
    <ListItem>
        <Name>DiscussionTest1</Name>      
    </ListItem>
</List>

And execution file is as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Simple Test" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" >
  <!-- Required Import to defined Test Servers -->
  <Import Project="TestServerDefinition.testproj" Condition="'$(EmbeddedTest)'==''" />

  <!-- Required Import to use MSBuild Community Tasks -->
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets" Condition="'$(EmbeddedTest)'==''" />
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\ExtensionPack\MSBuild.ExtensionPack.tasks"/>

  <Target Name="Simple Test">
    
   <MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile TaskAction="ReadElements" ReadChildrenToMetadata="true" File="TestCases.xml" XPath="List/ListItem">
            <Output TaskParameter="Elements" ItemName="ListItem" />
   </MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile>
   
  <RecordComment Comment="%(ListItem.Name)" />

  </Target>
</Project>

While execute above file with command prompt it gives an error like below. As i need this command with .net 3.5, so i had installed MSBuild ExtensionPack 3.5.15.0 in my SharePoint 2010 machine. However this commands works fine with MSbuild ExtensionPack 4.0.9.0 in SharePoint 2013 machine at where i had .net framework 4.0.

But my goal is to run this command in .net framework 3.5. Could you please suggest ?

The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, and that the assembly and all its dependencies are available.

how would you do it if you wanted to update the "DeployTag" from the below line?

Hi,

Running a msbuild script from Teamcity with a Teamcity agent on Windows 2012 r2.
In the script I call <MSBuild.ExtensionPack.VisualStudio.VB6 TaskAction="Build" Projects="@(ProjectsToBuild)"/>
This will only build one project, but when it starts its seems to hang - VB6 is started as a process, but i dont know whats happening in the background. It does not terminate - so I have to stop the process manually.

Any idea how to get around this problem?

MSBuild script

<Target Name="Build Invoice VB6">
    <ItemGroup>
      <ProjectsToBuild1 Include="$(WorkDir)\VB6\Invoice\Invoice.vbp">
        <OutDir>$(InvoiceDir)</OutDir>
        <!-- Note the special use of ChgPropVBP metadata to change project properties at Build Time -->
        <ChgPropVBP>AutoIncrementVer=0;MajorVer=$(MajorVer);MinorVer=$(MinorVer);RevisionVer=$(Revision);</ChgPropVBP>
      </ProjectsToBuild>
    </ItemGroup>
    <!-- Build a collection of VB6 projects -->
    <MSBuild.ExtensionPack.VisualStudio.VB6 TaskAction="Build" Projects="@(ProjectsToBuild)"/>
  </Target>

Output in TC:

I am not sure if anyone has made any progress here, I had the same issue on windows 2012; I downloaded a copy of the source code for the vb6 task from the 4.0.10 release.

I temporarily removed the redirection of stdout and sterr, the vb6 compiler does not throw anything much anyways as long as a log file is provided (which the plugin specified by default).

Extract looks like this

            proc.StartInfo.FileName = this.VB6Path;
            proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
            proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = false;

I also removed related code that would read the streams to the end and post as Log.Message or Log.Error; after that I reran my build and now VB6 does not hang.

I guess this will be my workaround while this is officially supported on Windows 2012.

Regards
