msbuild can't find .NET 'setup.bin' file

Question

I'm getting the following warning and error from msbuild:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3155: Item 'Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0' could not be located in 'C:\src\Oakhurst\trunk\code\VisionCentral'. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(3604,9): error MSB3147: Could not find required file 'setup.bin' in 'C:\src\Oakhurst\trunk\code\VisionCentral\Engine'.

This blog post indicates that installing the SDK should fix the problem. However I've installed the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and it hasn't solved my problem.

What else can I do to resolve this problem?

Answer 1

OK, I just got the publish operation to work, and I did this by using the "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt" rather than the "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command Prompt".

I really don't know the difference here, and don't have the time to research it, but if someone else knows, that could be useful information to someone.
