<![CDATA[Building HISE plugins on Windows with non-Community version of Visual Studio]]>Is it possible to dynamically set the location of MsBuild when exporting a HISE plugin?

I think the below path is hardcoded - so if you have Enterprise or Professional versions installed then the plugin build will fail. (GitHub Action runners for example come with Enterprise Edition pre-installed).

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MsBuild.exe

I also see some conflicting docs about always using Visual Studio 2017 or 2022 but it looks like VS Community 2026 is working.

mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Enterprise"
