Resolve-MSBuild no longer locates '15.0 x86'

[paddyclark]

In previous versions MSBuild 15.0 x86 was located at

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe

The current version of Resolve-MSBuild (1.4.0) reports "The specified version is not found."

Hmm. I cannot reproduce. Let's try to figure out what wrong is...

1. Does MSBuild.exe exist where expected?
2. Do you have VSSetup module installed?
3. What is the exact/full command?
4. What is the exact/full error?

[paddyclark]

1. Yes
2. I don't believe so
3. Working (1.3.0):

.\Resolve-MSBuild.ps1 "15.0 x86"

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe

4. Not Working (1.4.0)

.\Resolve-MSBuild.ps1 "15.0 x86"

Resolve-MSBuild.ps1 : Cannot resolve MSBuild 15.0  : The specified version is not found.

.\Resolve-MSBuild.ps1 "15.0 x86"

The version is not quite right, there must be no space in it, i.e. just use 15.0x86
I wounder why it worked before... In any case I should perform some better validation (TODO).

[paddyclark]

You're right. Using 15.0x86 works for both versions.

[nightroman]

Good! Please keep this issue open for now. I'll think of some better version validation.

Invoke-Build v5.5.1
Resolve-MSBuild 1.4.1
FWIW, spaces like in the problem case are allowed.
