How does Visual Build (kinook) build c++ projects?

Question

The bld file has the sln file specified, but what does it call to build it? MSDev? MSBuild? other?

I want to add some command line params, but I am not sure which executable it calls for unmanaged C++ solutions.

Answer 1

It depends. For Visual Studio 2002/2003, it always calls devenv.com. For Visual Studio 2005 and up, it calls msbuild.exe by default, or devenv or vcbuild if specified in the Override field on the Options tab.
