Description

« Hide

I use a space in value of "Build Properties" section for a step with "Build > MSBuild" type.
In QB 16 spaces are encoded as %20 that breaks the build.
This problem did not exist in QB 15.

The command: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\18\Community\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /property:Configuration=DSM%20Main <file_name>.sln
VS2026
The error: error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Could not find file <path>/<file_name>.wixproj.metaproj

There is no this error if use /property:Configuration="DSM Main" in the command.

We fixed bug ~~QB-4247~~ by encoding some special characters in QB 16.0.2.

Please let me know the command you run. You can set the configuration log level to DEBUG and run again then you will see the command you run in the build log.
