  Hi,

  If I run the below path I get the path as : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\"....but I need the below path :

  'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE' as an output as the tf.exe is located to the above path.

  I tried to change the below string as below, but no luck -

  $vsEnvVars = (dir Env:).Name -match "VS[0-9]{1,3}COMNIDE"

  clear

  $vsEnvVars = (dir Env:).Name -match "VS[0-9]{1,3}COMNTOOL"

  $latestVs = $vsEnvVars | Sort-Object | Select -Last 1

  $latestVs

  $vsPath = Get-Content Env:\$latestVs

  $vsPath

  Thanks.

  Have you tried the following?

  $vsEnvVars = (dir Env:).Name -match "VS[0-9]{1,3}COMNTOOL"

  $vsEnvVars = $vsEnvVars + "..\IDE\"
