We are trying to build an SSIS project *.dtproj on our build server using Visual Studio Build Tools 2019.

Would be great if someone could give an advice on how to get it work.

On a dev machine when using devenv.exe from Visual Studio 2019 it will build the project but on the build server we have only the build tools.

Data storage and processing workload is installed.

  • You need to have VS installed on build Server. Create dedicated Build Server if needed or conflicting with something else. – Piotr Palka May 17 '19 at 18:32

You need to have Visual Studio installed on the build server.

Run the following code from PowerShell or adjust for for CMD:

&'D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.com'`
'D:\Source\solution.sln'`
/rebuild 'Debug' /Project  'D:\Source\project.dtproj'`
/ProjectConfig 'Development' /Out 'C:\Temp\build.log'
