I referenced the How to: Build Team Projects on a Desktop but the how to is incomplete and I'm getting some errors that I hope that someone can help with this one.
I have a project, I created the Build Type, I sync'd with the local drive. So far everything is fine. I ran MSBuild (from the directory with the Build Type) and set the SolutionRoot to the full path of my solution (relative paths didn't seem to work at all). I did not set the TeamBuildRefPath because I can't find any documentation on it so I'm not sure what it should be. I keep getting the following error: MSB1008 only one project can be specified
Swtich: and
That's it. The process stops at this point. i've tried variations on this but still can't get it to work.

Hi. Yes, I'm working in the VS Command Prompt environment. Here is the TFSBuild.proj file. If you need anything else, please let me know.
< xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" >
<Project DefaultTargets="DesktopBuild" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<!-- TO EDIT BUILD TYPE DEFINITION
To edit the build type, you will need to edit this file which was generated
by the Create New Build Type wizard. This file is under source control and
needs to be checked out before making any changes.
The file is available at -
$/{TeamProjectName}/TeamBuildTypes/{BuildTypeName}
where you will need to replace TeamProjectName and BuildTypeName with your
Team Project and Build Type name that you created
Checkout the file
1. Open Source Control Explorer by selecting View -> Other Windows -> Source Control Explorer
2. Ensure that your current workspace has a mapping for the $/{TeamProjectName}/TeamBuildTypes folder and
that you have done a "Get Latest Version" on that folder
3. Browse through the folders to {TeamProjectName}->TeamBuildTypes->{BuildTypeName} folder
4. From the list of files available in this folder, right click on TfsBuild.Proj. Select 'Check Out For Edit...'
Make the required changes to the file and save
Checkin the file
1. Right click on the TfsBuild.Proj file selected in Step 3 above and select 'Checkin Pending Changes'
2. Use the pending checkin dialog to save your changes to the source control
Once the file is checked in with the modifications, all future builds using
this build type will use the modified settings

What is the command line you are using
Is simple -
not working You need to execute that from the local folder mapped to TeamBuildTypes\<YourBuildType> server folder where TFSBuild.proj is there. This is assuming EffortTrackingSolution directory and TeamBuildTypes directory are siblings.
If that is not the case, you can execute it like -
Let me know if this also doesn't work.
Thanks,

Gautam, here is the syntax I'm using and the exact results for each try.

Are you doing the build from within "Visual Studio Command Prompt" What is the command line that you are executing
Thanks.
Jompa
Since the path has spaces, a double quotes is needed. Wrap C:\Doc...\Projects with double quotes i.e.
msbuild /p:SolutionRoot="C:\Documents and Settings\jxl0575\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects" tfsbuild.proj
Thanks.

I tried this scenario and it seems to work for me. Could you post your TfsBuild.proj file
Thanks
