Question

I have tried to build .Net project using MSBuild in Bamboo and in MSBuild comman line switches I have provided /p:PublishDir=D:\Atlassian\home\bamboo\xml-data\build-dir\AP-BUILD-JOB1; /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0 so i got the below error
MSBUILD : error MSB1005: Specify a property and its value.
Added job called MSBUild and provide .Net project details like solution file and all

Answer 1

Not sure has much to do with Bamboo - looks like an MSBUILD command syntax error. Here is their doc on error: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h8h04acf.aspx.
Looks like maybe a separator issue? It says semi-colon or comma can be used to separate properties, or the /p: may be repeated - but you've done both. You have a semi-colon and you're also repeating /p: - so you have two of what they consider to be separators back to back.
