Is there any way to build deployment package for a Web Application using Visual Studio 2010 CommandLine ?
I think this has what you are looking for
MSBuild "MyProjectName.csproj" /T:Package /P:Configuration=Staging;PackageLocation="D:\Vishal\Package.zip"
I got this from this site:

Can someone assist with the following error which i am getting while building SSIS project using msbuild. I am having Visual studio 2015 in the machine. Using MSBuild 14.0
"*
error MSB4041: Th e default XML namespace of the project must be the
MSBuild XML namespace. If the project is authored in the MSBuild 200 3
format, please add
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" to the
element. If the proje ct has been authored in the old 1.0 or
1.2 format, please convert it to MSBuild 2003 format.

I have gone through some articles online but couldn't find solution with this scenario.

I'm afraid the answer is negative. For now this scenario(build SSIS project using msbuild) is not supported.
Someone has post this issue in DC forum, see Support SSIS, SSRS, SSAS in MSBuild. So if you're trying to use azure devops for CI/CD process, please vote and track this issue to get notifications when there's any update. And if you're using other tools for CI/CD process, I suggest you open a new feature request to support SSIS building for stand-alone msbuild tools in local machine.
And here're two workarounds which may help:
1.Since you have VS2015 installed, instead of msbuild command, you can try using devenv command.
For VS2015, we can find devenv.exe and devenv.com in path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE. Both devenv.exe and devenv.com works for this, but note: Using devenv.exe directly prevents output from appearing on the console.
So devenv.xxx ... xxx.dtproj /build can work to build the SSIS project.
2.We can find binary(Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Build.dll) of the SQL Server Data Tools in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE. Then we can use msbuild UsingTask element to call the tasks defined in that assembly.
The core is to call DeploymentFileCompilerTask task for SSIS build in our custom msbuild target after defining this statement:
<UsingTask TaskName="DeploymentFileCompilerTask" AssemblyFile="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Build.dll" />
More details please refer to here and here.
Update:
If we have several Database projects and SSIS projects in same solution. Using command like devenv.com xx.dtproj directly will actually build all projects.
So I suggest we use command in this way:
Open Developer command prompt for VS
cd to solution directory
use command: devenv.com SolutionName.sln /Build Development /Project SolutionName\xxx.dtproj /ProjectConfig Development
This will only build the SSIS project actually.
In addition: If you see the message The project 'DatabaseProjectName.sqlproj' will close once model building has paused. If it doesn't affect your build, just ignore it. After my check if won't actually build Database project(the output of database project is empty) if we use command above.
I have an ASP.NET Core app which I can publish using web deploy and pre-configured publishing profile via Visual Studio 2017. Now I need to configure CI and trying to achieve the same from the command line so I installed [.NET Core SDK][1] and followed this guide
dotnet build -c release /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=publish-profile-name
Unfortunately, it gives the following error:
C:\Program
Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.4\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish\build\netstanda
rd1.0\PublishTargets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish.MSDeploy.targets(227,5):
error MSB4062: The "CreateManifestFile" task could not be loaded from
the assembly C:\Program
Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.4\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish\build\netstandard1.0
....\tools\netcoreapp1.0\Microsoft.NETCore.Sdk.Publish.Tasks.dll.
Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly
and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a
public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
How can I fix the dotnet build line?
If your publish profile uses MSDeploy, it cannot be built via the .NET Core based build tools (dotnet build).
See the related GitHub issue https://github.com/aspnet/websdk/issues/166
The workaround is to use msbuild /p:Configuration=Release … from a VS 2017 installation instead of dotnet build.
I've read many articles on publishing from TeamCity using various versions of Visual Studio. I'm currently using v.9.1.7 of TeamCity and Visual Studio 2015.
I have my 3 build steps on check-in:
Clean & Rebuild
Unit Test
Publish
When I check in my files I get a Tests Passed success message:
I can tell from here something isn't right as I'm expecting it to say something about publishing. When I look at the Build Log I see the following:
[12:48:22][API\API.sln] Publish [12:48:22][Publish] MSBuild [12:48:22][MSBuild] API\API\API.csproj: Build target: Publish
[12:48:22][API\API\API.csproj] _DeploymentUnpublishable
My Publish Build Step is setup this way:
In my API project in Visual Studio I can publish to the correct location on the network. Here is my publish profile:
I'm not sure what I'm missing. I'm expecting the Publishing build step to work like when I click the Build->Publish menu item in Visual Studio.
I'm guessing that I'm missing something or misunderstanding what the publishing build step is supposed to do.
Any help is appreciated.
I was able to get it to work after days and days of searching. I found part of the answer here on Stack Overflow. The trick was to get it to work from the MSBuild Command Line:
C:\TFS\project\myProject\APIproject>msbuild apiproject.csproj
/p:DeployOnBuild=true
/p:PublishProfile="Properties\PublishProfiles\DEV.pubxml"
/p:VisualStudioVersion=14.0
Once I got this running several times I was able to create a Build Step in Team City (see this question/answer) and I set the following:
Build file path: <location of the apiproject.csproj>
MSBuild version: Microsoft Build Tools 2015
MSBuild ToolsVersion: 14.0
Run platform: x86
Command Line Parameters: /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile= "C:\TFS\API\API\Properties\PublishProfiles\DEV.pubxml" /p:VisualStudioVersion=14.0
IIRC, publishing from TeamCity requires certain files or alternatively VS installed on the build agent (which really isn't recommendable). Have you copied the necessary files to the build agent?
Where are artifacts location defined.
And you can use Tentacles for publishing build into various environments.
I guess, you need to look towards artifacts configurations.
You can use MSBuild runner to Deploy your Application/API
Add Command line parameter :
/t:Clean /p:DeployOnBuild=true /t:build /t:publish /p:PublishProfile=C:\_works\teamcity\publishprofiles\Publiush_Profile.pubxml /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0
PublishPrfile URL should be your publish profile path.
This will work for you.
VS will probably find your publish profile with just the name, like:
/p:DeployOnBuild=true;/p:PublishProfile=DEV; very useful if you run more than one build agent.
And if you're deploying to an IIS you might need to add AllowUntrustedCertificate=true;
I have a Visual Studio 2013 project. I need to deploy it to remote Windows Server via command line, is this possible?
I tried the following command:
MSBuild.exe C:\BuildAgent\work\e1434fd989e26b76\WebService.csproj /T:Package /P:Configuration=Release
This packages the project for me. Now what should I do to deploy it to the server via command line?
Create a new custom publish profile from visual studio. After creating it validate the connection from visual studio.Save this profile.Now in Properties/PublishProfiles there will be the new publish profile.pubxml.
After that try this.
msbuild "PATH_TO_SOLUTION_FILE" /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile="PATH_TO_PUBLISH_PROFILE" /p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=true /p:UserName=USER_NAME /p:Password=PASSWORD
If you are executing the above from solution file path then just mention the solution name and publishing profile name. There is no need to give the entire path.
You can define a publishing profile and deploy by calling an msbuild.exe with:
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=Foo
This is described here:

What I thought would be simple is not. All I am trying to do is get MSBuild to copy website files to another server after my build.
In my Build definition Under Process --> Advance --> MSBuild Arguments I put
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile
It builds fine but it never copies files to destination
BUT when I run this command locally, IT WORKS!!!!!
msbuild /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile
I have VS 2012 installed in Build Server so I think all the necessary files are there.
What is the problem?
UPDATE 1
Output in build log file
Run MSBuild for Project
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /nologo /noconsolelogger "C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\src\MyProject.sln" /nr:False /fl /flp:"logfile=C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\src\MyProject.log;encoding=Unicode;verbosity=detailed" /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 /m /p:OutDir="C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\bin\\" /p:RunCodeAnalysis="False" /p:VCBuildOverride="C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\src\MyProject.sln.vsprops" /dl:WorkflowCentralLogger,"E:\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Tools\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.Logger.dll";"Verbosity=Detailed;BuildUri=vstfs:///Build/Build/64;InformationNodeId=20178;TargetsNotLogged=GetNativeManifest,GetCopyToOutputDirectoryItems,GetTargetPath;TFSUrl=http://abc-tfs-p:8080/tfs/defaultcollection;"*WorkflowForwardingLogger,"E:\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Tools\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.Logger.dll";"Verbosity=Detailed;"
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Created new website project
Made sure it worked on local machine
using development server
Checked code in TFS
Created a build definition using all the default settings Under the Process -->
Advance --> MSBuild Arguments I put
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile
The publish profile copies the changeset to a remote server.
Installing the Web Tools 2012.2 update on the build server fixed this issue for me after I read this post and Scott Gu's Blog. I don't have Visual Studio installed on the server but installing the update got my DeployOnBuild working. I hope that helps.
