This page describes how to configure a Bamboo task to use a Visual Studio (devenv.exe) executable.

To configure a Visual Studio task:

1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
2. Click the name of the desired MSBuild task, or click Add Task and then Visual Studio if creating a new task.

3. Complete the following settings:

   Visual Studio configuration
   Task Description	A description of the task, which is displayed in Bamboo.
   Executable	The Visual Studio executable that is available to perform the task. The executable that you select will become one of the task's (and so, the job's) requirements.
   Solution	The name of the Visual Studio solution file that you want Bamboo to execute. For example: RegexDemo/RegexDemo.sln . You can also include variables (see Bamboo variables).
   Options	Specify any Visual Studio command-line options that you want to include (e.g. /build Debug). You can also include variables (see Bamboo variables).
   Platform	Select the platform toolset required to compile your solution. This is provided as an argument to Vcvarsall.bat (see this MSDN article for more details).

4. If required, specify environment variables and working directory settings:
