I am trying to execute vcbuild via the command prompt. Just using 

vcbuild project.vcproj

doesn't work and I've tried using the whole path : 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcpackages\vcbuild.exe project.vcproj

That give the error : 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, ...

so I tried it with '

'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcpackages\vcbuild.exe' project.vcproj

That give the error "The system cannot find the path specified"

  • The path does exists

Thanks any help would be much appreciated.

NOTE : this is to be executed by TeamCity (CI Server) ++ for some reason using "" doesn't work, on input in TeamCity's command execution responds with : "Invalid command executable specified"

Use double quotes instead:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcpackages\vcbuild.exe" project.vcproj

Quoting in cmd is only possible with double quotes, regardless of what you may or may not be used to from Unix shells.

  • I am doing it in TeamCity and it response with the error on input : "Invalid command executable specified" Do you know any other way? – Patrick Lorio Oct 11 '11 at 16:09
  • If you have to give the path to an executable and its arguments in separate fields, then you should probably leave out the quotes again. – Joey Oct 11 '11 at 16:11
