-------------------------------------------------------------

Possible approaches:
1. Use regexp to remove amd64 at the end. MSBuild folders structure is strongly defined so the risk that there is no x86 msbuild version uneder /bin folder is low.
2. Adding Wow6432Node when running in x64 mode - use ProcEnv("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE") = "AMD64"
3. Running  "%VS120COMNTOOLS%\vsvars32.bat" before build to provision required environment, after that we can use 'msbuild' and we don't need to manually search for location
4. Use (/p:PlatformTarget=x86) as per http://stackoverflow.com/a/17461224/255654. Does not work.
5. Try to create/set x32 mode for WScript.Shell

> From dev mail thread:
> Our change to not require msbuild in the user environment path is failing. System returns (respectively) :
> C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\amd64\ 
> and 
> C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\
> Which results in the following error message:
> "Building Windows Phone application using MSBuild 64 bit is not supported. If you are using TFS build definitions, change the MSBuild platform to x86."
