I might be dumb, but I'm struggling to get msbuild to run the INSTALL project via CLI. What I'm currently doing is two step:
```msbuild /m /v:m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo C:/project/build/TrinityCore.sln```
This works fine, builds the project and the output looks great. Then I do some stuff, like stopping services etc to prepare for install. I then run:
```msbuild /m /v:m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo C:/project/build/TrinityCore.sln /t:INSTALL```
To only target the INSTALL project, but this fails with:
```C:\project\build\ZERO_CHECK.vcxproj : error MSB4057: The target "INSTALL" does not exist in the project.```
Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Ah okay, wouldn't that run install immediately on the normal build? Either way, I got it to work by doing:
```
msbuild /m /v:m /p:Configuration=RelWithDebInfo C:/project/build/INSTALL.vcxproj```

I'll look into it, just migrating our ci/cd so that would be step 2
