Using msbuild to execute a File System Publish Profile

by

FYI: I had the same issue with Visual Studio 2015. After many of hours trying, I can now do msbuild myproject.csproj /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=myprofile.

I had to edit my .csproj file to get it working. It contained a line like this:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" 
  Condition="false" />

I changed this line as follows:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />

(I changed 10.0 to 14.0, not sure whether this was necessary. But I definitely had to remove the condition part.)
