Can't get visual studios build configuration right

Question

I have a Release|Win32 and a Release|x64 configuration in visual studios every time I try one of them via bamboo I get an error like this:

17-Jan-2012 16:31:07'x64' is not recognized as an internal or external command,17-Jan-2012 16:31:07operable program or batch file.

I have tried wrapping it in single then double quotes or 2 double quotes and it still doesn't work. The options parameter should work like this /rebuild "Release|x64" works outside of bamboo but not within

In the extra environment variables on the task where you generate the solution files you need to add:

{code}Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\amd64{/code}

Then you should be able to build with

{code}devenv project.sln /build Release{/code}

and set the platform to amd64.

I'm assuming you're using the Visual Studio builder tool in bamboo?

Hm... I'm not 100% sure this will work (btw: which Bamboo version are you evaluating?), but I think you could try the following:

Grab the https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/m1/com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.dotnet/jars/atlassian-bamboo-plugin-dotnet-3.4.jar and replace the atlassian-bamboo-plugin-dotnet-x.x.jar you have in your BAMBOO/webapp/WEB-INF/lib directory (remove the old .jar). Then restart Bamboo instance. Depending on which Bamboo version you have and some luck factor this might resolve the problem with '|' (pipe) characters in the goal field. Or might not. :(

Ya that looks to be what I am experiencing. Not sure how to rebuild it though. We are just evaluating this product as a potential build system instead of what we have in place now.
