      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.

        For anyone curious - it looks like you can get around this by linking the expected path to wherever you have Visual Studio installed

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