During a long build (started with IncrediBuild), I get error messages like this one:

MSBUILD : error MSB4166: Child node "3" exited prematurely. Shutting down. Diagnostic information may be found in files in the temporary files directory named MSBuild_*.failure.txt.

Where can I find this file MSBuild_*.failure.txt?

Edit

According to the comments, I searched in the directory %TEMP% for msbuild, but I couldn't find any files with the pattern MSBuild_*.failure.txt.

    In `%TEMP%`. Type `CD %TEMP%` from a command prompt or `%TEMP%` in the Windows Explorer address bar and hit Enter. – Ken White May 08 '17 at 22:51

    I ran into this. In my situation, the message was a lie, there were definitely no directories or files named *.failure.txt anywhere on the server. I guess that's why it says "may" be found?
