Is it possible to run devenv.exe in foreground?

I need to build a solution with CAB Project.
As far as I understand I should use devenv.exe in order to build CAB.
Following command line starts devenv.exe in background:
devenv.exe MyActiveX.sln /Rebuild "Release"

Is it possible to run devenv.exe in foreground?
I would like to get build traces not in file but to stdout.

You need to run "devenv.com"

You have to run devenv.com in this case which is the console application1. devenv.exe is a GUI application and therefore simply can't print anything to your current console.


1 As dumpbin will tell you.
