Caution

Avoid setting BinPath. If you were simply passing in the .NET Framework location as the BinPath, no other action is necessary. Otherwise, define Toolsets instead in the registry or config file, or by adding elements to the Engine's ToolsetCollection, in order to use a custom BinPath.

Obsolete way to get or set the tools path for the current default tools version.

Remarks

BinPath is an obsolete concept. We retain it for now for all the hosts that use the BinPath property, or the Engine(binPath) constructor, but internally it is just the tools path of the default tools version.
