Considering the code for VsMSBuildCmd.bat , it sets the VS140COMNTOOLS environment VS140COMNTOOLS from the registry and also adds MSBuild to the PATH .

VsDevCmd.bat does the same plus adds a bunch of other directories to PATH and sets a few more environment variables, most of which are used by the Visual C ++ compiler. The path to the TypeScript compiler is also added.
