While running my msbuild instead of building the project , it skips the file and gives an out put as : Output: Skipping target because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files while running msbuild from console app Output: Running generator on: D:\git\abc\gen.xsl\MediaInputIdMap.cs.xsl What i have noticed is while execution it invokes default cmd.exe instead of 2017 cmd.exe even when i have changed the default to %comspec% /k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" in Tools > Options > Terminal , how do i invoke a 2017 command prompt while executing my console app?, it is still picking up cmd.exe
