Accepted Answer

You must execute `devenv.com`.

The `devenv.exe` always attempts to open GUI, even when commands are given, and it can't. The `devenv.com` has output directed to standard output and works fine from Jenkins.

You also must pass arguments.

Without arguments both `devenv.com` and `devenv.exe` just start the IDE GUI, which is not what you want. The correct command-line is

```
devenv.com projectname.sln /Build Release /Project projectname
```

First is path to the solution you want to build. Then the `/Build` flag is followed by configuration. If you have multiple platforms, you have to pass configuration and platform combination, e.g. `Release|Win32`. The `/Project` flag names project to build (including all dependencies). If omitted, it builds all projects selected for build in given configuration.
