Hi,  
Using FB 5.0.0.130. Small bug:  
When I want to build a Visual Studio solution whith msbuild, I get a validation error that my devenv.exe setting is not set. I do not have Visual Studio installed on the build server, so I fill in the setting to "c:&quot;. Now I do not get a validation error. And the solution is build just fine by msbuild.  
Thanks.

Hi Jaap,  
  
Thanks for pointing this out, I'll update the behaviour to only check for devenv.com if your not using MSBuild.

I'll let you know when a new test build is available with this fix in it.

Regards,  
Paul.

I saw it made it into FB 5.5. No time to test it yet. Thanks.
