NuGet · v18.11.0 · MIT

This package delivers a complete executable copy of MSBuild. Reference this package only if your application needs to load projects or execute in-process builds without requiring installation of MSBuild. Successfully evaluating projects using this package requires aggregating additional components (like the compilers) into an application directory.

Tentative categories were assigned with moderate confidence (0.5 to 0.75): they are shown, but they do not count toward a category’s momentum. How categories work
