Skipping dependency wixproject using msbuild command line
I am building a wixproject using Visual studio solution on Configuration= Release,Platform=x64 by unchecking x86 platform to skip some dependency wix projects.
Is there a way to do the same using MSBuild command line?

Skipping dependency wixproject using msbuild command line
Just like stijn said, you can specify the property in the command line when you build the project/solution file.
As we know, the property Platform= project-level property, which we could set or override the specified project-level properties by -property:name=value. Name is the property name and value is the property value.
Check the document MSBuild command-line reference for some more details.
So, to resolve this issue, you just need pass the property Platform=x64 in the command line, like:
MSBuild YourProjectPath.wixproj /property:Configuration=Release /property:Platform=x64
or use shorter form:
MSBuild YourProjectPath.wixproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64
Hope this helps.

I have tried below command msbuild a.wixproj /p:Configuration=Release;Platform=X64. a.wixproj has some dependency wixproj not supporting x64 platform.So how can we skip those wixproject while building a.wixproj with platform x64?

@NeethuHaridas, You can exclude projects at the solution level for a specific build configuration by using the Configuration Manager Dialog in Visual Studio:stackoverflow.com/questions/9778916/…

instead of visual studio configuration manager , Is there any way to exclude project through msbuild command line?
– Neethu Haridas
Nov 20 '18 at 9:07
@NeethuHaridas, Yes, there is no directly way to do this via command line. And all the settings in the visual studio configuration manager are saved in the project/solution file, if you have set this in the visual studio configuration manager, you do not specify it on the command line.
