You can easily download it from GitHub <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere/releases">releases</a> and run, like this:</p>
<pre>
<code>- appveyor DownloadFile https://github.com/Microsoft/vswhere/releases/download/2.3.2/vswhere.exe
- vswhere.exe</code>
</pre>
<p>However for me simple command like <code>where msbuild</code> should be good enough.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/447209052018-02-13T20:25:52Z2018-02-13T20:25:52Z`vswhere` on AppVeyor?<div><p>Oh interesting. I thought this was part of every modern Visual Studio 2017 installation now. Do you manually remove it or is this just not part of the type of installation you are doing?</p>
<p>(Good to know, we actually wanted to rely on that program in the VS17 version of our tooling)</p></div>Jan Piotag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/447209052018-02-13T20:41:35Z2018-02-13T20:41:35Z`vswhere` on AppVeyor?<div><p>No it, it just not part of VS 2017 Community. I believe it is part of <code>Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017</code> which we do not install.</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyntag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/447209052018-02-13T23:34:21Z2018-02-13T23:57:54Z`vswhere` on AppVeyor?<div><p>Uhhh... actually it is installed:</p>
<pre>
<code>"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere" -property installationPath -products * -all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\TestAgent
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere" -property installationPath -all
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community</code>
</pre>
<p>(Aso checked locally, comes with the Installer of VS2017 Community itself)</p>
<p>Better question now: Did I mess up before or did it really not work before?</p>
<p>Update: Indeed, I looked at the VS15 runs where <code>vswhere</code> of course is missing. Sorry.</p></div>Jan Piotag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/447209052018-02-14T19:10:59Z2018-02-14T19:10:59Z`vswhere` on AppVeyor?<div><p>Thanks for letting us know, indeed it is there now :)</p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyn
