Historically, this has been done with the Microsoft Build Tools. But it seems that the Build Tools may not be available for versions after 2015. The replacement appears to be the Visual Studio build tools, which doesn’t seem to have a real homepage yet.
I downloaded the VS2017 Professional installer, and went to the Individual Components tab. Right away, the summary is telling me that the Visual Studio core editor is there, taking up 753MB. I don’t want the editor. Just msbuild. There is no way to unselect the editor.
Is there a way I can install the latest version of msbuild without also installing the Visual Studio IDE?
