build Add-ins From msbuild command-line

[LukeBadgerow]

I am in the process of putting together a CI Server application (Jenkins) that is currently building my SOA application.  I would like to add a desktop add-in that I am also working on to this server, however in order for that to happen I need to be able to build with msbuild.exe.  When I try and compile my add-in project with msbuild I receive the following error (more specifically, the following comes from Jenkins, but it's the same error locally):

Well, I tried everything described here: install the SDK of VS2010, run my VS as admin, Create the build for x86.....but nothing ever happen...I got the same error I'm trying to compile an Add-in in VS 2013

[Cristian_Galindo]

Digging in the error, I arrive to the C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Esri\ESRI.ArcGIS.AddIns.targets, it calls some tasks from ESRI.ArcGIS.AddIns.SDK.dll, but I don't get which is the difference, between VS2010 and VS2013....does they use different MSBuild versions?

[Cristian_Galindo]

First, I check that Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0 was in the GAC, It was not there... tVisual Studio Command Prompt --> Run as Administrator --> gacutil /i Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0.dll, but it failed because I was not giving the full path of the dll, so I search for it in the Visual Studio 2008 SDK, and Voila!!! it appear in the GAC

but the project still does not compile, so, I chec in the real GAC:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly

and found that the file does not exist neither in the GAC_32, nor GAC_64 folder, moreover, it exists in the folder GAC_MSIL, so....i took the folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.9.0 and copied it to the folders GAC_32 and GAC_64.

Now the project compiles.
