title: How to install MSBuild 15.3 without Visual Studio?
body: <p>Is there a way to install version 15.3 of MSBuild on the build server without installing Visual Studio 2017?</p>
  
  <p>I tried to install 'Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017' from <a href="https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/" rel="noreferrer">https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/</a> per <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/42697374/">https://stackoverflow.com/a/42697374/</a> however I ended up with version 15.1:</p>
  
  <pre><code>msbuild /version
  Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.1012.6693

  15.1.1012.6693
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>We need version 15.3 to build Azure Functions project.</p>
