Yeah, the first I ever became aware about that environment script was when
Walter pointed it out to me a few years ago.
I've never encountered anybody try and use MSC from the command line in
about 15 years professionally. That's what I mean about this culture; it's
the opposite of linux, and it outright rejects practises that are
linux-like.

 You're meant to open the .sln file and press the build button...
