I am testing open source freeware using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (and here ) to ensure compiler and tool compatibility. The 30-day trial has expired, so I need to work from the command line because the IDE exists after it informed me that the trial has expired:
When I try to run msbuildfrom the command line, I get a couple of top-level errors:
