error MSB4019 - MSBUILD looking for imports for non-existing version

Question

When I try to build my SSDT project with MSBUILD, I get the following error

error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets" was not found

In my ...\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio folder, however, I only have V12.0, V14.0 and V15.0. SSDT is found only in V14.0.

How can I make sure MSBuild looks for includes in the right place?

Solution

Looks like the .Net 4.0 msbuild.exe was the wrong one to use.

The problem was solved by using msbuild.exe from the msbuild folder instead of the .Net folder.

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\msbuild\14.0\Bin

@Metaphor: How do you change the path from .NET 4.0 MSBuild to Msbuild as in your answer?

I fully qualified the executable in the batch file.
