Theoretically, devenv.exe will call msbuild under the covers. You can tell msbuild to build your solution and tell it which configuration/platform you want to build. Something like:
msbuild path\to\solution.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Mixed Platforms" /t:Build Some more information about how devenv is failing would help. Oh, I should mention that devenv is required to build C++ projects at the moment because msbuild does not support C++ projects yet. Edwin G.
