How to enable logging in msbuild. My build is failing, I don't know why. Is there any property that needs to be set in the property group.

Within Visual Studio

You can view the log in the Output view with Show output from: set on Build.

To configure the verbosity go to Tools > Options... > Projects and Solutions > Build and run

FileLogger

You could use the MSBuild FileLogger like that :

msbuild.exe /fileLogger 
 /fileloggerparameters:LogFile=[Path_to_log_file];Verbosity=[minimal/normal/detailed/diagnostic]

More info on MSDN.

What kind of Continous integration environment are you using if you using an Cruisecontrol.NET, there is a XMLLogger, which can do the trick for you. but if you want to enable logging in your MSBuild script then http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171470.aspx should do the trick for you.
