Dotfuscator command exited with code -1073741571 - xamarin

While trying to build the Android project, part of a Xamarin.Forms project, using Dotfuscator Community I get the following error: The command ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\PreEmptiveSolutions\DotfuscatorCE\dotfuscatorUI.exe" /p:InDir="obj\Release\120\DotfuscatorXamarin\dfin",OutDir="obj\Release\120\DotfuscatorXamarin\dfout",ReportDir="DotfuscatorReports\Release" "DotfuscatorConfig.xml"" exited with code -1073741571.
Note that I have changed dotfuscator.exe to dotfuscatorUI.exe in the <DotfuscatorXamarinCliPath> tag, based on this answer, because initially I was getting a code 1 error.
Any suggestions?

Visual Studio 2017 fails to build project using msbuild

I am trying to build this project which generates a minified css file for my website, I moved the project files to a new PC with a new version of Visual Studio (2017 from 2010) and after some small issues I got solved, I am now feeling stumped. This is the error:
Error The command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\msbuild.exe
"C:\Users\Dennis\Documents\Visual Studio
2017\Projects\minify-CSS\minify-CSS\MSbuild\msbuild.xml"
/p:ConfigurationName=Release" exited with code 9009.
I know the error is in the path, there's a space in the path and there's no citation marks around the path. I don't know why VS2017 fails at this. I navigated to the msbuild folder in the command prompt and ran the build command manually, the project compiled just fine. Anyone know where I can correct this so the path is put in citation marks, or otherwise get around this?
I got it to work. I opened the project file and found this line:
<PostBuildEvent>$(MSBuildBinPath)\msbuild.exe "$(ProjectDir)MSbuild\msbuild.xml" /p:ConfigurationName=$(ConfigurationName)</PostBuildEvent>
I just added citation marks around the first part and it started working. Like this
<PostBuildEvent>"$(MSBuildBinPath)\msbuild.exe" "$(ProjectDir)MSbuild\msbuild.xml" /p:ConfigurationName=$(ConfigurationName)</PostBuildEvent>

Visual Studio 2005: "Error: the Visual C++ Project Engine is not properly installed."

My VS2005 started printing the following error:
Error: the Visual C++ Project Engine is not properly installed. The build cannot continue. Please repair the Visual Studio installation.
What do I do now? Is there a way to fix this that does not require reinstalling the application?
I was able to solve this by following this procedure:
locate this file "VCProjectEngine.dll" (vc/vcpackages)
re-register it by running this command on the shell ( the command window):
regsvr32 VCProjectEngine.dll

CL.exe error code

Has any of you got this error?
error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741515.
I'm not able to find the meaning of the error code anywhere. I get it when building a C++ project in VS2013 Pro.
The project compiled fine in VS2010. I made no additional changes to it after updating VS.
Fixed. I changed the Platform Toolset from Widnows SDK 7.1 to Visual Studio 2013 (v120).
