Invoke-MsBuild v2.0.0

First release of Invoke-MsBuild v2!

v2 has the following breaking changes from v1:

• A hash table with several properties is returned instead of a simple $true/$false/$null value.
• The GetLogPath switch is gone and replaced with the WhatIf switch.

New features in v2 include:

• A build log file containing only build errors is created alongside the regular build log file.
• The errors build log file can be auto-launched on build failure.
• New switch has been added to show the build output in the calling scripts console window (does not work with some 3rd party consoles due to Start-Process cmdlet bug).
• A hash table containing the following properties is now returned:
• BuildSucceeded = $true if the build passed, $false if the build failed, and $null if we are not sure.
• BuildLogFilePath = The path to the builds log file.
• BuildErrorsLogFilePath = The path to the builds error log file.
• ItemToBuildFilePath = The item that MsBuild is ran against.
• CommandUsedToBuild = The full command that is used to invoke MsBuild. This can be useful for inspecting what parameters are passed to MsBuild.exe.
• Message = A message describing any problems that were encoutered by Invoke-MsBuild. This is typically an empty string unless something went wrong.
• MsBuildProcess = The process that was used to execute MsBuild.exe.

Changes to make when updating from v1 to v2:

• To capture/display the build success result, you must change:
  Invoke-MsBuild ...
  to:
  (Invoke-MsBuild ...).BuildSucceeded
• To get the path where the log file will be created, you must change:
  Invoke-MsBuild ... -GetLogPath
  to:
  (Invoke-MsBuild ... -WhatIf).BuildLogFilePath
