    You can use this file to disable pre and post events globally across both MSBuild and Visual Studio.
    To use this file, you have two options.
    1. Save this file as C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\v14.0\Custom.After.Microsoft.Common.targets
    Or whatever the value of the MSBuild property $(CustomAfterMicrosoftCommonTargets).
    2. Save this file to a random location, lets say C:\temp\msbuild\nopreorpostevents.targets,
    then set the CustomAfterMicrosoftCommonTargets env var to point to that file. Then start Visual Studio.
    You can set this from a PowerShell prompt (cmd prompt as well of course) and then start Visual Studio
    from that prompt to apply the environment variable.
    ```powershell
    $env:CustomAfterMicrosoftCommonTargets='C:\temp\msbuild\nopreorpostevents.targets'
    "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
    ```
    You can also call MSBuild from the prompt and it will honor that property as well.
    If you're calling MSBuild from PowerShell see psbuild https://github.com/ligershark/psbuild.
