Q: 

Using devenv arguments /Build and /ResetSettings

Our automated build system builds a variety of Visual Studio 2005 solutions using 

devenv solution.sln /Build config|platform

We have a need to use a specific set of Visual C++ directory settings for a given solution file, these settings have been exported from Visual Studio as a .vssettings files.

If I start Visual Studio with 

devenv solution.sln /ResetSettings mysettings.vssettings

Studio will open my solution, and have my custom settings ready to use. However, if I use

devenv solution.sln /Build config|platform /ResetSettings mysettings.vssettings

Studio builds my solution, but does not use the settings from mysettings.vssettings.

Does anyone know how I can (or if I can) use /Build with /ResetSettings ?
