I can't reproduce this issue with below example:
msbuild.xml: <Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <PropertyGroup> <BuildProperty>$(BuildVersion}</BuildProperty> </PropertyGroup> <Target Name="TestMessage" AfterTargets="Build" > <!--Use $(Property Name) to reference a property--> <Message Text="Build version is: $(BuildProperty)" Importance="high"/> </Target> </Project> And then I added an environment variable for property BuildProperty in the MSBuild Step: BuildProperty ${build.version} from the log, I can see the message contains the build version correctly. |

- In the MSBuild step, I added the follow to 'Environment Variables':
Name = Path Value = C:\<new path to a software>;${node.getAttribute("yourAttributeName")} - I then list the 'Path' in the Post-Execution Action, but I did not see the new path. |

Hi,
You can't use environment variables in the Post-Execution script. The environment variables are only used for QuickBuild to invoke msbuild command. You have to add the variables manually in your script. |
