Hello,

I have the following problem. I have a MSBuild script that gets source code from VSTS Source Control, builds the software, .... A part of this process is the creation of an installation package. This step is branched out into another MSBuild project file which I import in the main MSBuild script. I branched out that, because it will be used in other MSBuild projects too. The problem is now, that this imported script is part of the source I get from Source Control, because it must be adoted to the current project structure. That means, when I start the hosting MSBuild skript, the imported script is not available.

What I want to ask therefore is: Is there a way to import an MSBuild project file delayed when I need it, maybe in the target where I want to call its targets.

Any tips are welcome

Thanks in Advance

Regards
Rolf

I found myself a solution. I simply call the MSBuild project with the built in MSBuild task MSBuild in the proper target (after I got the current project file) and provide the necessary properties. That works fine for me.
