Jenkins MSBuild plugin not working with cygwin on windows slave

Question

I am trying to run msbuild on a slave with cygwin (the master is ubuntu) I am getting the following error:

FATAL: /cygdrive/c/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework64/v4.0.30319/MSBuild.exe doesn't exist

The file does exist in the said location. (and I was case sensitive)

I have also installed the "cygpath" jenkins plugin, but I am still getting the same error

I also changed the path to C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\MSBuild.exe but getting the same error (but with relevant path)

Answer 1

It seems that : c:\\\\Windows\\\\Microsoft.NET\\\\Framework64\\\\v4.0.30319\\\\MSBuild.exe

does the trick
