| # Microsoft.Build.Runtime | |
| 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. | |
| 🗒️ NOTE: if you are building an application that wants to use MSBuild to | |
| evaluate or build projects, you will generally not need this package. Instead, | |
| use [MSBuildLocator](https://aka.ms/msbuild/locator) to use a complete toolset | |
| provided by the .NET SDK or Visual Studio. | |
