Hi all,

thanks for your reply,

yes, pretty sure about the full file path under (Manage jenkins → Global Tool Configuration
→ Path to MSBuild “MSBuild.exe full file path” )

please help me to go for next step.

thanks and regards

The tool (msbuild.exe) must be accessible at that path on the agent where you are running the tool. The error message says that msbuild.exe is not on the path from that agent.

You could diagnose to confirm that by creating a temporary job that runs on the specific agent and runs the Windows batch command env. That will list all the environment variables as configured on that agent. You will see that one of the variables is PATH. You will see that PATH on the agent does not include the location of msbuild.exe.

Configure the agent so that the directory that contains msbuild.exe is listed in the PATH.
