MSBuild taskkill error

Question

I'm using MSBuild Visual Studio 2013 Express, and try to kill the vstest.console.exe process, if it is not initialized is giving error.

How do I stop the command and not have an error when the process is not initialized.

Code:

<exec  program="taskkill" commandline="/f /im vstest.console.exe" />

Error:

External Program Failed: taskkill (return code was 128)

You can use IgnoreExitCode parameter to ignore non-zero exit codes.

<exec  program="taskkill" commandline="/f /im vstest.console.exe"
       IgnoreExitCode="true"/>

Not working. Error: Unexpected attribute "IgnoreExitCode" on element – mtsys Jun 27 '14 at 18:55
It is strange. You can use `ContinueOnError = "true"` instead. – Hamlet Hakobyan Jun 27 '14 at 19:04

MSBuild script is called using nant – mtsys Jun 27 '14 at 19:14
Execute this programa C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe – mtsys Jun 27 '14 at 19:15
Try build without nant directly by executing msbuild and see what will happen. – Hamlet Hakobyan Jun 27 '14 at 19:17
