Build VS.Net 2008 Solution

Hiya Team,

I'm trying to use the Build VS.Net Solution action...

I am working with a VS.Net 2008 solution though and am getting this error from MSBuild

C:\Projects\MedRecruit\Project\www.medrecruit.com\MedRecruit\MedRecruit.sln(2): Solution file error MSB5014: File format version is not recognized.  MSBuild can only read solution files between versions 7.0 and 9.0, inclusive.

The 'VS.Net version' in the Action only goes as high as VS.Net 2005

Anyone have any ideas or a work around?

Hi Chris

Here is a test build with VS2008 support :

https://www.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/550/FB550_396.exe

This is still a test build, which means there may be still be issues with the VS2008 support, which has so far only been tested on my workstation using Beta 2.

Please report any issues to support at finalbuilder dot com

We've been getting a few enquiries about this old post, so I just wanted to reiterate and save people some time:


Visual Studio 2008 support is available in the current official release of FinalBuilder 5.5 (at the moment this is 5.5.0.518.)


- The "Build VS.NET Solution" action can build Visual Studio 2008 solutions

- The MSBuild action can build Visual Studio 2008 projects and solutions if you set the Framework version to 3.5.


FinalBuilder 5.5 is a free update for FinalBuilder 5.0 users. Unfortunately, Visual Studio 2008 support is not available in FinalBuilder 4.
