Visual Studio Build Command Macros for determining the version of Visual Studio

Is there a Visual Studio build command macros for determining the version of Visual Studio?

I want a post-build event that runs something in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\TextTemplating\<My MSVS version>, for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\TextTemplating\14.0

We have different developers with different versions of Visual Studio installed, and this build event is currently hard-coded.

I looked here but didn't see anything.

I found the build command macro I was looking for. This did it for me:

$(MSBuildToolsVersion)

It resolves to the major-minor version number that I'm looking for (ie, 14.0).
