I've upgraded to VS2010 and am looking for the vbuild executable. For VS2008, it was under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcpackages\vcbuild.exe

Where is it for VS2010? It's not under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcpackages\vcbuild.exe

There isn't a vcbuild anymore - it's replaced by msbuild

There is also a TFSBuild.exe in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE but I don't know if it's an exact replacement.
