I've been trying to setup a Jenkins build machine that uses Visual Studio 2010 building tool to build a C++ app. The build stops a minute after it started and Jenkins goes ahead with the next command. I tried to create a .bat file using the same commands as Jenkins but with no results, the build succeds and it does what i want it to.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" "%WORKSPACE%\someproject.sln" /rebuild "Release"
In the event viewer i found the following error:
Application: devenv.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

The software versions are the following:
I was expecting the build to succeed as building the project manually with VS2010 work.
Check if starting the build from cmd prompts you to install some features, i think that block Jenkins from finishing the build
