Hi,<br />
I get the following error while executing MS Build on Windows 2008 server with .NET 3.5 framework. I'm building a &nbsp;Webservice and a Windows Client.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Could not locate the expected version of the Microsoft Windows SDK. Looked fo<br />
&nbsp;r a location specified in the &quot;InstallationFolder&quot; value of the registry key<br />
&nbsp;&quot;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWA<wbr />RE\Microso<wbr />ft\Microso<wbr />ft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A&quot;. If your<br />
&nbsp; build process does not need the SDK then this can be ignored. Otherwise you<br />
&nbsp;can solve the problem by doing one of the following: &nbsp;1) Install the Microsof<br />
&nbsp;t Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5. &nbsp;2) Install Vis<br />
&nbsp;ual Studio 2008. &nbsp;3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct locat<br />
&nbsp;ion.<br />
<br />
I know the build project does not need the SDK(since I;m not building a C++ project). How do I ignore the SDK verification from MSBuild.

Hi,
I get the following error while executing MS Build on Windows 2008 server with .NET 3.5 framework. I'm building a  Webservice and a Windows Client.
 
Could not locate the expected version of the Microsoft Windows SDK. Looked fo
 r a location specified in the "InstallationFolder" value of the registry key
 "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A". If your
  build process does not need the SDK then this can be ignored. Otherwise you
 can solve the problem by doing one of the following:  1) Install the Microsof
 t Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5.  2) Install Vis
 ual Studio 2008.  3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct locat
 ion.

I know the build project does not need the SDK(since I;m not building a C++ project). How do I ignore the SDK verification from MSBuild.

Ignore the Windows SDK check while using MSBuild
