Problem building with VS 2015 release candidate

Has anyone managed to get a build working with VS 2015 RC? My build is broken since I upgraded as the build does not recognise some of the new language features.

There is no specific option for this in the Environment / Operating system. Anyone know if I can resolve this or does the appveyor team have to install the build tools first?

   We've just deployed a new build worker image with Visual Studio 2015 RC. Read this post for more details: http://www.appveyor.com/updates/2015/05/03

   Thanks for responding. I chose the Visual Studio 2015 RC option in the environments section and alas I am getting the same compilation problems where the build is not recognising the new c#6 language features and is therefore failing.

   Can you drop a build log? I guess the problem is that by default MSBuild 12 is called instead of 14. Use you own build command with MSBuild 14.

   Build log attached. I can confirm it is by default using msbuild12. I look look into the command line option when I get some time tomorrow,.

   Yeah, there is msbuild 4.0 in PATH by default. Add this to "Install script":

   set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin;%PATH%
   

   In the mean time I've added a new issue to fix that: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/257
