description
This Vim plugin enables syntax support for all typical MSBuild project and include files matching the following patterns:

    *.*proj
    *.props
    *.targets

You can also build an open project from within Vim using :make. Any warnings or errors can then be opened directly. You can also pass command line parameters to :make like you would to msbuild.exe, like:

    :make /t:rebuild

Some items and imported projects or targets can also be opened with gf. Any environment variables in the path are expanded automatically if possible.
 
install details
To keep up-to-date with changes, I recommend using Git and installing pathogen from https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen so you can clone this repo or your own fork like so:

    mkdir %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\bundle
    cd /d %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\bundle
    git clone https://github.com/heaths/vim-msbuild.git

To make help content available when using pathogen, start vim and type :Helptags. You can then type :help msbuild for more information.

If you prefer to install the scripts directly, you can download the vimball, open it in vim, and install it like so:

    vim msbuild.vba
    :so %
    :q
