I've looked at several other SGen-related questions on here and either their answers don't apply or their answers don't fix this for me. I have installed several SDKs to fix this issue with no luck. Reference types should not be changed since this is
the only place this is a problem. Once suggestion is to put SGen.exe into
the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 folder, but that's not been done on
the box where this is not a problem. In this scenario, SGen.exe actually exists and is right where it's supposed to be, but MSBuild still is having issues with finding it for some reason!
Background:
We have a NAnt script that automates our builds. In this scenario, NAnt is calling MSBuild and MSBuild is generating
the error claiming to be unable to find SGen.
The project is .NET 3.5-based. I have my primary dev environment (64-bit Vista Ultimate) where
the script works perfectly and I am attempting to duplicate it in a VM (64-bit Win 7 Ultimate). I THINK I have everything to
the point where I should be good-to-go but this fails on
the Win7 box (works perfectly on
the Vista box).
I have done some comparisons between
the two boxes and they both look identical in this regard, but it still fails. For example,
the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework's sdkInstallRootv2.0 value is set to C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0 64bit\ on both machines. In both machines, SGen.exe is in that path's bin subdirectory.
NAnt Script:
<target name="report-installer" depends="fail-if-environment-not-set">
<exec program="MSBuild.exe" basedir="${framework35.directory}">
<arg value="${tools.directory.current}\ReportInstaller\ReportInstaller.sln" />
<arg value="/p:Configuration=${buildconfiguration.current}" />
</exec>
</target>
The error message I get is this:

What am I doing wrong here that is causing MSBuild to STILL be unable to find SGen?
